Photoluminescence enhancement of ZnS-AgInS2 solid solution nanoparticles layer-by-layer-assembled in inorganic multilayer thin films
Multilayer films of layered double hydroxide (LDH) nano-sheets and semiconductor nanoparticles of ZnS-AgInS2 solid solution (ZAIS) or US were prepared by a layer-by-layer deposition technique. The photoluminescence properties were remarkably dependent on the stacked structure of the films owing to the energy transfer from US to ZAIS nanoparticles.
