This study examined the effects of surface-passivation on the photoluminescence (PL) properties of ZnS:Mn nanoparticles treated by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation with oxygen bubbling. Compared to the pristine Mn-doped zinc-sulfide nanocrystals (quantum efficiency: ∼16%), the UV-irradiated ZnS:Mn showed significantly enhanced luminescence properties (quantum efficiency: ∼35%). The photoinduced surface passivation was characterized by x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and time-resolved PL. The optimum thickness of the passivation layer for the quantum efficiency was examined considering the nanocrystal size, local strain, and radiative/nonradiative recombination rates.
