Abstract

Polymer-stabilized paramagnetic and fluorescent rare-earth metal sulfide (cerium sulfide, Ce₂S₃) nanoparticles have been synthesized by using an 'in situ polymerization and composite formation' (IPCF) technique (Mallick et al. in J. Appl. Phys. 106:074303, 2009) at room temperature. Encapsulated cerium sulfide nanoparticles showed photoluminescence when excited with laser irradiation. The composite material exhibited a paramagnetic behavior due to the in situ formation of magnetic Ce³⁺ ionic species at the reaction condition.
