Abstract

We have synthesized nanoparticles of ZnS doped with Mn for potential use as cathodoluminescent phosphors in field-emission displays (FEDs). We show that the cathodoluminescent efficiency of particles ⩽100 nm in diameter is within 40% of that of a commercial (micron-sized) phosphor when the electron-beam energy ranges between 500 and 3500 eV. The nanoparticles exhibit less current saturation than larger-sized phosphors, an important feature for use in FEDs. Furthermore, the nanoparticles were annealed at just 535 °C, hundreds of degrees below the processing temperatures of standard phosphors. Finally, we discuss the effect of the particle surface on low-voltage luminous efficiency.
