A study of the electrical and optical properties of Cr<sup>2+</sup>: ZnSe nano-sheets by first-principle calculations
2022, Materials Today CommunicationsOptical properties of transparent ZnSe<inf>0.9</inf>S<inf>0.1</inf> mixed crystal ceramics prepared by hot isostatic pressing
2020, Optical MaterialsCitation Excerpt :Subsequently, multifarious approaches have been adopted to fabricate transparent ZnSe or ZnS ceramic. Wu et al. [17–21] successfully prepared transparent Cr2+:ZnS and Fe2+:ZnSe ceramic by the spark plasma sintering (SPS) method. Odile et al. [22] fabricated transparent ZnS ceramics from nanocrystalline powders synthesized by the combustion method by HP.
Extrinsic size dependent plastic deformability of ZnS micropillars
2020, Materials Science and Engineering: ACitation Excerpt :Despite the advantage of the CVD process in fabricating high-quality ZnS, it is the two-step consolidation process that dramatically increases expense and sensitivity to the consolidation parameters. In comparison to the CVD process, a vacuum hot pressing technique is another promising method to synthesize optically transparent ceramics such as spinel, CaF2, Y2O3, Lu2O3, and ZnS [15–21]. This sintering technique combined with wet chemistry production of ZnS nanoparticles can considerably reduce the processing cost, yet maintain sufficient transmissivity of ZnS [16].
Effect of porosity and hexagonality on the infrared transmission of spark plasma sintered ZnS ceramics
2020, Ceramics InternationalPhase transition between sphalerite and wurtzite in ZnS optical ceramic materials
2020, Journal of the European Ceramic SocietyCitation Excerpt :Through examination of the effect of heating rate on the properties of the end ZnS ceramics, it was revealed that optical transmittance and relative density were improved, and wurtzite content was reduced, as the heating rate decreased from 100 °C/min to 5 °C/min [34]. Through XRD and TEM analyses, our previous studies on ZnS optical ceramics processed via hot pressing and SPS have also indicated an “early” phase transition from sphalerite to wurtzite during sintering, which was attributed to the small particle size of the employed colloid-synthesized ZnS powders [35–37]. Also, Y. Kim et al. observed that the sphalerite-wurtzite phase transition occurred at 1000 °C, during the pressureless sintering (in argon) of ZnS monodispersed powders [38].
