Microwave-assisted combustion method was developed to synthesize nickel ions doped CdS nanocrystals (NCs). The effects of nickel ions on the physical and magnetic properties of CdS NCs were investigated by XRD, FT-IR, HR-SEM, EDX, HR-TEM, SAED, UV-Visible spectra and VSM techniques. XRD results confirmed the formation of hexagonal Ni-CdS NCs. The formation of nickel ions doped CdS phase was also confirmed by FT-IR and EDX. The formation of spherical shaped cluster of nano crystallites was confirmed by HR-SEM and HR-TEM. VSM results of the as-synthesized Ni-CdS NCs showed ferromagnetic behavior.
