This study focused on the synthesis of novel chiral Ag 2 S and Ag 2 S-Zn nanocrystals (NCs) with chiral Pen as a capping reagent in an aqueous solution. Luminescence studies indicated that all the prepared Ag 2 S and Ag 2 S-Zn NCs exhibited size-tunable photoluminescence (PL) emission at 500-700 nm....
