For the first time, 1D Ni ions doped CdS nanowires (NWs) were synthesized via chemical vapour deposition (CVD). The synthesized Cd0.886Ni0.114S NWs were single crystalline. We have reported here, investigation of optical, electrical and magnetic properties of prepared NWs for optoelectronic and spintronic applications. Successful incorporation of Ni ions in an individual CdS NW has been confirmed through several characterization tools: significant higher angle and phonon modes shift were observed in the XRD and Raman spectra. SEM-EDX and XPS analysis also confirmed the presence of Ni2+ ions. Room-temperature photoluminescence (RT-PL) showed multi-peaks: two emission peaks in the visible region centered at 517.1 nm (green), 579.2 nm (orange), and a broad-band near infrared (NIR) emission centered at 759.9 nm. Herein, the first peak showed 5 nm red-shift upon Ni2+ doping hinting the formation of exciton magnetic polarons (EMPs), and broad-NIR emission was observed in both chlorides and bromides which was assigned to d-d transition of Ni ions whose energy levels lie at 749.51 nm (13342 cm-1) and 750.98 nm (13316 cm-1) are very close to NIR emission. Orange emission was not only remained at same peak position but also its PL intensity significantly enhanced at 78 K and is assigned to d-d transition (3A2g → 1Eg) of Ni2+ ions. It was observed that 11.4% Ni2+ ions doping enhance the conductivity of our sample around 20 times and saturation magnetization (Ms) increases from 7.2 × 10-5 Am2/Kg to 1.17 × 10-4 Am2/Kg which shows promise for optoelectronic and spintronic applications.

Tuning the photoluminescence (PL) and magnetic properties of 1D semiconductor nanostructures is extremely important in processing light, improving the speed and storage capacity for optoelectronic and spintronic applications. Here, we have reported the 1D Cd
