Cr3þ ions doped ZnS nanocrystals were synthesized using the co-precipitation method. The as-prepared sample was characterized to investigate the magnetic and thermal properties along with its structural and spectral studies. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirms the cubic zinc blend structure, and the mean crystallite size is evaluated to be 4.7 nm. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission
electron microscopy (TEM) images indicate stone-like structures. The deposition of Cr3þ ions in ZnS nanocrystals is evidenced by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. From the optical absorption data, the bands in the UV-VIS region are recognized as the characteristic bands ...
