摘要
5.74Na(2)O-21.38B(2)O(3)-72.88SiO(2) glasses doped with semiconductor 1% wt PbS nanocrystals were fabricated via a sol-gel route. The formation of PbS nanocrystals in the glass matrix was proven by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The HRTEM images showed that the PbS crystals existed as nanocrystals with a narrow distribution diameter at 3.5 nm. Furthermore, Fast Fourier transformation (FFT) demonstrated the existence of PbS with face-centered cubic (FCC) structure. Comparing with the bulk PbS, the absorption edge in the optical absorption spectra of the glass doped with PbS nanocrystals exhibited a blue shift with an obvious quantum size effect. The glass had a nonlinear refractive index (gamma) of -2.03 x 10(-14) cm(2)/GW and a nonlinear absorption coefficient (beta) of 7.05 x 10(-10) cm/GW based on Z-scan technique measurement.
