Gamma-irradiation has been applied to synthesize the nanocomposite semiconductor constituted of zinc and cadmium sulfide Cd1-xZnxS ultra fine particles at room temperature by utilizing homogeneous release of S2- ions from the decomposition of sodium thiosulfate. The structure, morphology, size and optical properties of that compound have been studied by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and ultraviolet-visible spectrometer (UV-visible). The product obtained from irradiated solutions containing zinc ions, cadmium ions and the sulfur source has been characterized as a composite of (CdxZn1-x)S, with spherical morphology and with a diameter of average size of about 5.3 nm. The possible mechanism of formation of the composite is proposed.
