Abstract

In this letter, we report the characterization of lead sulfide (PbS), europium sulfide (EuS), and lead europium sulfide (Pb _1-xEu _xS) nanocrystals using wide-angle x-ray scattering analysis. The results confirmed the high purity and crystallinity of the nanomaterials. In complement to previous studies on this family of ternary materials, the Pb _1-xEu _xS nanocrystals were well alloyed, with no evidence of phase separation, which bodes well for their implementation in optical and magnetic device applications.
