Indigenously Developed Alpha Particle Detector Using Zns Nanostructure

ZnS nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal technique using different precursors. The aim was to get nano particles which can be homogeneously dispersed in an organic polymer like PVP. The ZnS-PVP composite was casted to make films. These films were mounted on PMT to fabricate alpha detectors. The results shows the indigenous development of ZnS films.
