Abstract

The luminescence intensity of Mn²⁺ in the ZnS:Mn nanoclusters formed in an ultrastable zeolite-Y is seven orders of magnitude stronger than that of other nanoparticles deposited out of solutions. This remarkable effect is attributed to a strong quantum size confinement, the location of Mn²⁺ ions at the near-surface sites, and good surface passivation. The lowering of the energy loss in the ⁴E(⁴D), or/and ⁴T₂(⁴D) states during the energy transfer from the ZnS host to the emitting state ⁴T₁(⁴G) of Mn²⁺ may also contribute to the observed fluorescence enhancement.
