Abstract
In this study, CdS, CuS, and Ag2S nanoparticles (NPs) were
synthesized by a chemical bath procedure in the presence of polyvinyl
alcohol (PVA) as a polymer stabilizer. Morphological studies followed
by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed
monolithic and small size NPs. The average crystalline size of CdS,
Ag2S, and CuS nanocomposites was 18.1, 26.7, and 21.7 nm,
respectively. UV-Vis absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of
samples showed a near-infrared region (NIR) emission peak for CuS. The
bandgap of samples measured using absorption data was 3.48, 2.75, and
2.30 eV for CdS, Ag2S, and CuS NPs, respectively. Nonlinear
optical properties, including nonlinear refractive index and nonlinear
absorption of the NPs, were measured by the Z-scan technique under a
632.8 nm wavelength He-Ne CW laser. PVA/Ag2S nanocomposite
displayed reverse saturable absorbance (RSA) and self-focusing, while
PVA/CdS and PVA/CuS displayed saturable absorbance and self-defocusing
behavior under the chemical bath procedure synthesis.
