An aqueous solution method has been developed for synthesizing size-controlled Mn2+ doped CdS nanocrystals with a relatively narrow size distribution. The nanocrystal samples were characterized by UV-Vis absorption spectra and photoluminescence spectra. We prepared narrow size distribution particles under different synthesis conditions. The effect of manganese concentration on the photoluminescence properties was investigated. Luminescence intensity in different excitation wavelength correlates with different size of CdS:Mn nanocrystals on luminescence spectra. We found that by narrowing the size distribution and doping concentration, CdS samples can be prepared with high luminescence intensity.
