Popis: The bandgap engineered MnWO4 nanoparticles doped with Ag were developed using a facile one-pot synthesis method. The impurity doping concentration of Ag was varied from 1 to 5 wt percentages to tune the interactions between manganese tungstate and silver ions to obtain desirable magnetic and optoelectronic properties. The structural properties of the MnWO4 particles with various concentrations of Ag were investigated using X-ray diffraction. The optical properties of the pristine and Ag-doped MnWO4 particles were determined using UV‒Vis and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The impurity concentration-dependent structural transformations and changes in the vibrational modes, lattice dynamics, electronic transitions and optoelectronic properties of the prepared materials were analyzed using Raman spectroscopy. The topology, morphology and elemental analysis of the synthesized nanoparticles were elucidated using HRTEM, SAED, SEM and EDX techniques. The magnetic properties of the MnWO4:Ag nanoparticles were measured using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The obtained results suggested that Ag-doped MnWO4 nanosystems show enhanced and tunable magnetic properties suitable for nanodilute magnetic semiconductor (nDMS) applications. The presented work opens a range of possibilities for the development of advanced materials with applications in optoelctronics, nanomedicine, energy-efficient electronic devices and energy conversion.
