The large blue shift of the band gap energy of the CdS nanoparticles compared to the bulk semiconductors is observed via UV-vis absorption spectra. Photoluminescence spectra of CdS nanocomposite films show that the emission peaks shift towards the longer wavelength with the increase of annealing temperature. Transmission electron microscopic images as well as Raman scattering studies confirm the CdS nanometer size particle formation within the polymer matrix. The particle size is about 8 nm. Selected area electron diffraction （SAED） shows the cubic zinc blende polycrystalline rings. Third-order optical nonlinearity of the CdS nanopartieles embedded in polymer thin films is studied with the Z-scan technique under 1064 nm excitation. The results show that the CdS nanocomposite film exhibits negative nonlinear refraction index and positive absorption coefficient. The film shows large optical nonlinearity, and the magnitude of the third-order nonlinear susceptibility of the film is calculated to be 1.73 × 10^-9 esu. The corresponding mechanism is discussed.展开更多

There are seven Raman peaks （3A1 ＋ E1 ＋ 4E2） of the film identified at room temperature. From the results of temperature dependence of the Raman spectrum, it is deduced that the YMnO3 film has a magnetic phase transition temperature of about 123K. The temperature variation phonon mode at 685cm^-1 shows an anomalous frequency variation near 123 K, suggesting either a more complex mechanism of spin-phonon coupling or strong mixing of phonon modes. The reason for the higher antiferromagnetic Néel temperature TN of the film than that of the bulk counterpart is also discussed.展开更多
