Abstract: A method of synthesizing catalyst doped ZnS nanostructures including preparing a silicon substrate by vacuum depositing a metal catalyst nanostructure on an ultrathin silicon oxide layer, doping a zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanostructure with a catalyst of the metal catalyst nanostructure including at least one of gold (Au), manganese (Mn), and tin (Sn), and modulating ZnS intrinsic defects by the concentration of the catalyst and the size of the ZnS and metal catalyst nanostructures, in which the catalyst is dissolved in a nanowire of the ZnS nanostructure during growth, the concentration of the catalyst in the nanowire is dependent on the size of the catalyst, and the doping is tuned by growth conditions.
