Cadmium sulphide (CdS) nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by a simple chemical reaction route using ammonium hydroxide as a complexing agent. X-ray powder diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy, Energy dispersive analysis using x-rays and UV–Visible spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction analysis confirms the formation of hexagonal wurtzite structure of CdS with average grain size of 10 nm. SEM images depict the presence of spherical nanoparticles and pores in the sample. From the optical absorption measurement, it is supposed that the blue shift in the absorption peak of 480 nm from that of bulk is at 512 nm may be due to the quantum confinement effect..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
