Zinc sulfide, Powder, 99.9%, -1250 mesh (2.15 mic aps) approx

Zinc sulfide is used as a sputtering target material to create thin films for optical coatings and electroluminescent displays.

ZnS is a widely used high-refractive index material for infrared optical coatings, providing excellent transmission in the 8-14 micron range.

Zinc sulfide is frequently used as an evaporation source in physical vapor deposition processes to produce interference filters and cold mirrors.

As a wide-bandgap II-VI semiconductor, ZnS is utilized in the fabrication of light-emitting diodes and photovoltaic devices.

ZnS is synthesized as quantum dots and nanoparticles for use in bio-imaging and photocatalytic applications due to its unique size-dependent optical properties.
