Abstract
CdS nanocrystals having mean diameters in the range 1.4-6 nm are synthesise d in the polymer matrix Nafion. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the sam ples show broadened peaks corresponding to the cubic phase of CdS. A detail ed analysis of the XRD profiles using a profile fitting and separation prog ramme (PROFIT) revealed the broadening to be arising from the size effects. The mean diameters of the nanocrystals are determined from the full width at half maxima (FWHM) of the XRD peaks. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
