Gamma Radiation Synthesis of Cadmium Sulfide Nanoparticles

Semiconductor Cadmium Sulfide nanocomposites capped with polyvinyl alcohol were synthesized using60Co gamma irradiation method as a reducing agent at different concentrations of cadmium and sulfur sources (1:1, 1.5:1.5, 2:2) and different doses of gamma radiation (0, 30, 60, 90, 120 KGy) at room tem...
