Abstract

Zinc sulfide doped manganese (ZnS: Mn) thin films were deposited on glass substrates at temperature of 100 oC by RF magnetron sputtering technique. The physical properties are analyzed using (AFM, EDX and UV-VIS spectrophotometer). The results show that the values of average diameter of grain size and surface roughness for ZnS: Mn was 73.27 nm and 2.85 nm respectively. The transmittance and optical band gap are found to be 71.38% and 3.26 eV respectively. The calculations of spectrum absorption intensity, IR spectra and energy gap for the ZnS: Mn, which obtained from Density Functional Theory (DFT), gave agreement with the practical results.
