Abstract

Nanocrystalline films of $Cd_{1-x}Mn_xS(0\leq x \leq0.5)$ with grain size of 36–58 nm were deposited on glass substrates at a substrate temperature of 300K using resistive thermal evaporation. All the films exhibited wurtzite structure and the lattice parameters varied linearly with composition.The magnetic susceptibility increased sharply with Mn content 'x' and decreased with increase of the temperature.
