| Abstract | A hydrogel template assisted synthesis was employed to prepare CdS quantum dots (QDs) in poly(methyl methacrylate-co-acrylic acid), p(MMA-co-AAc), for the ultimate formation of a nanocomposite. The copolymer hydrogelates in an aqueous solution of precursor reagents and acts as a template for the absorption of Cd2+ ions, which is followed by CdS QD formation. The CdS QDs are positioned inside the core of the micelles in the copolymer hydrogel. The ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption and band edge emission of the composite solution are blue shifted relative to bulk CdS. The composition of acrylic acid (AAc) in the copolymer has an influence on the size as well as on the surface effect of the CdS QDs, which is reflected in the photoluminescence (PL) of the composite. The copolymer is capable of passivating CdS QDs for intense band edge emission with weak defect state emission. The z-scan technique gives an exhibition of the nonlinear refraction and absorption of the composite, which are determined by the AAc content and thus the size of the CdS QDs present in the composite. The composites show self defocusing phenomena for their negative nonlinear refraction. The magnitude of nonlinear refractive index increases with the CdS QD size. The copolymer with a large number of AAc units forms a CdS QD composite with reverse saturable absorption (RSA) near the focus and saturable absorption (SA) at the focus. The RSA behavior of the composites shows that they can be used in optical limiting devices. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
