Abstract
The spin coating method was used for the preparation of ZnS, Mn doped ZnS (MZS) and
Cobalt doped ZnS (CZS) thin films and their structural and optical properties were studied. The ZnS
thin films were grown on well cleaned glass substrates by spin coating method from aqueous solution of
Zinc Sulphide and Thiourea with two different dopants Mn and Co. The properties of ZnS, MZS and
CZS thin films and their growth mechanisms were studied using x-ray diffraction, UV-Visible
spectroscopy and photoluminescence measurements. Effect of dopants on structural and optical
properties was reported.
Keywords
