Zinc chalcogenide quantum dots (QDs) doped with paramagnetic transition metal ions (particularly ZnS:Mn QDs) are new attractive but rarely examined semiconductor nanocrystals that have excellent welding sweater optical properties and enhanced thermal and environmental stability compared to Cd-based QDs.In this paper, we demonstrate a dye-based random laser (RL) with nonresonant feedback using ZnS:Mn QDs as the scattering medium that are dispersed in a Rhodamine B (RhB) dye solution.The nonlinear variation of the emission spectrum as a function of the excitation energy implies a random lasing threshold.Moreover, we observe a blue-shift of the emission wavelength by 10.

3 nm and a 5.3 times decrease in the RL threshold by increasing the scatterer abc material concentration.We also provide a theoretical discussion based on the diffusion theory for explaining the observed experimental results.
