Abstract
The results of studying the growth of a ZnS–SiO2 nanocomposite film by discrete thermal evaporation at lowered condensation temperatures using an ultrahigh-vacuum setup are presented. It is shown that ZnS–SiO2 nanocomposite films contain an amorphous SiO2 matrix and zinc-sulfide ZnS nanocrystals. The nanocrystallite shape and sizes depend on the condensation temperature.
