Copper-doped zinc sulfide nanoparticles have been synthesized using a wet chemical method. The synthesized nanoparticles exhibit a zinc blende structure with the crystallite size of 3.8 nm. The morphological and optical studies of the synthesized nanoparticles have been performed. It is found that the band gap varies from 3.6 to 4.4 eV depending upon the concentration of copper. The room temperature photoluminescence of the synthesized nanoparticles has been also investigated.
