Abstract. Two nanocomposites containing CdS nanoparticles in polymeric matrices were studied using the photoluminescence (PL) and optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) methods. Due to equal sizes of NPs in the composites (~5 nm) but different matrices – the oxygen-containing polymer PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) and oxygen-free polymer PEI (polyethyleneimine) – differences of nanocomposites properties are predominantly caused by different interfacial conditions. ODMR spectra have revealed five types of centers related to the PL emission – four centers involved in radiative recombination and one center related to non-radiative recombination processes. The oxygen-related interfacial center in CdS/PVA (LK1-center) and sulfur vacancy center in CdS/PEI (Vs-center) were identified.
Keywords: CdS nanoparticles, polymer, composites, photoluminescence, optically detected magnetic resonance.
