Popis: Ternary Ag-In-S and quaternary Ag-In-Zn-S nanoparticles with different ratio of Ag/In/Zn/S are synthesized. The incorporation of Zn into Ag-In-S nanoparticles leads to the increase in the optical bandgap and the blue shift of photoluminescence (PL). The optical properties of these nanoparticles are significantly dependent on the chemical composition of nanoparticles. Time-resolved PL spectroscopy in nanosecond time regime is used to study the recombination processes of carriers, which involve the surface states and intrinsic crystallographic defects. These measurements support the donor-acceptor model, in which the PL is achieved by radiative recombination of the localized electron and hole.
