Abstract

Abstract: Micro-crystalline γ -MnS film was prepared by a cost effective low temperature chemical bath deposition method. The formation of wurtzite MnS was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and Raman measurements. The γ -MnS film exhibits a strong yellow emission band centered at 551 nm. First time, the magnetic property of γ -MnS film was investigated by superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer. The micro-crystalline γ -MnS film exhibits a paramagnetic behavior at low temperature. The data reported in this paper may be useful for rapid synthesis of γ -MnS film.
