CdS doped amorphous silica was prepared by the sol-gel method. The CdS
concentration in weight varied from 5% to 20%. The samples were chara
cterized by four different and complementary techniques: X-ray diffrac
tion (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM),
low frequency inelastic Raman scattering (LOFIRS) and small angle X-ra
y scattering (SAXS). These observations show that the size of the nano
crystals does not depend on the CdS concentration.
