Abstract
Zirconia films incorporated with cadmium sulfide semiconductor nanoparticles were synthesized with the dip-coating technique in air. Amorphous and transparent films were gained on the glass substrate. ZrO2:CdS films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), optical absorption/fluorescence spectra. The size control of CdS particles was studied. The different morphology of ZrO2 and ZrO2:CdS films were observed. The blue shift of absorption band of CdS and its fluorescence properties are discussed.
