Optical features of nanosize iron and molybdenum sulfide clusters
Since both FeS2 and MoS2 are optically opaque and have bandgaps in the near IR, photochemical applications of these materials are non-existent. It is however demonstrated in the study that nanosize FeS2 and MoS2 have bandgaps that can be adjusted to the visible and even UV region of the spectrum by control of the cluster size. Discussed are measurements of size, structure, optical absorbance and photoemission for these new materials. Also, briefly outlines are synthetic procedures and novel methods for chemical processing of these nanoclusters.
