Izixhobo ze-ZnS zitsale ingqalelo enkulu kungekuphela nje ngenxa yeepropathi zazo ezibalaseleyo zomzimba ezifana ne-bandap yamandla ebanzi, i-refractive index ephezulu, kunye nokuhanjiswa kokukhanya okuphezulu kuluhlu olubonakalayo, kodwa ngenxa yezicelo zabo ezinkulu ezinokubakho kwizixhobo zombane, ze-elektroniki kunye ne-optoelectronic.I-Zinc sulfide inesiphumo esihle kakhulu se-fluorescence kunye nomsebenzi we-electroluminescence, kwaye i-zinc sulfide inesiphumo esisodwa sombane, ebonisa iipropathi ezininzi ezigqwesileyo kwimimandla yombane, imagnetism, optics, mechanics kunye ne-catalysis.
