Abstract
ZnAs2 nanoclusters were fabricated by incorporation into pores of zeolite Na-X and by laser ablation. Absorption and photoluminescence spectra of ZnAs2 nanoclusters in zeolite were measured at the temperatures of 4.2, 77 and 293 K. Both absorption and PL spectra consist of two bands which demonstrate the blue shift from the line of free exciton in bulk crystal. We performed the calculations aimed to find the most stable clusters in the size region up to size of the zeolite Na-X supercage. The most stable clusters are (ZnAs2)6 and (ZnAs2)8 with binding energies of 7.181 eV and 8.012 eV per (ZnAs2)1 formula unit respectively. Therefore, we attributed two bands observed in absorption and PL spectra to these stable clusters. The measured Raman spectrum of ZnAs2 clusters in zeolite was explained to be originated from (ZnAs2)6 and (ZnAs2)8 clusters as well. The PL spectrum of ZnAs2 clusters produced by laser ablation consists of a single band which has been attributed to emission of (ZnAs2)8 cluster.
