Transmission electron microscopy TEM images showed that the average diameter of ZnS Mn nanoparticles is around 14 nm. The formation of ZnO shells on the surface of ZnS Mn nanoparticles was confirmed by X-ray diffraction XRD patterns high-resolution TEM HRTEM images and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy XPS measurements. A strong increase followed by a gradual decline was observed in the room temperature photoluminescence PL spectra with the thickening of the ZnO shell. The photoluminescence excitation PLE spectra exhibited a blue shift in ZnO-coated ZnS Mn nanoparticles compared with the uncoated ones. It is shown that the PL enhancement and the blue shift of optimum excitation wavelength are led by the ZnO-induced surface passivation and compressive stress on the ZnS Mn cores.
