Abstract

We report the results of high pressure luminescence studies of the emission of Mn2+ in bulk Zn0.55Ga0.30S up to ∼214 kbar, bulk ZnS up to ∼184 kbar, and nanocrystalline ZnS (∼8 nm particle sizes) up to ∼300 kbar. We observed a strong redshift with pressure (-30(3) cm−1/kbar) for the 4T1→6A1 emission transition of Mn2+ in all three systems. We also observed emission quenching at high pressure in all three systems and attribute the quenching to a pressure induced phase change of the ZnS host lattice to a rocksalt (NaCl) phase.
