Abstract

We report reproducible p -type transport properties in nitrogen-doped ZnS nanoribbons (NRs) synthesized by applying ammonia gas as the acceptor source. Field-effect transistors fabricated from individual ZnS NRs revealed the p -type behavior of ZnS NRs and significant enhancement in p -type transport properties upon annealing in argon ambient. Annealing-induced conversion of highly insulating to p -type conducting ZnS NRs was attributed to activation of N acceptors from the passivated states of NS -H bonding.
