Abstract

Extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) technique has been employed to investigate the local structures around luminescent centers in nanocrystals of Mn-doped ZnS and Tb-doped Y2O3. Size-dependent local structural changes around Mn luminescent centers have been found in Mn-doped nanocrystals of ZnS by using Mn K-edge EXAFS. Local structures around Tb investigated by Tb Li-edge EXAFS also show substantial differences between bulk and nanocrystal samples. This structural information is useful for understanding the novel optical properties of doped nanocrystals.
