Abstract
Zinc Sulfide helix sculptured structures with different number of 1, 3 and 5 pitches were formed on the glass substrate using glancing angle deposition method. The structural properties of these sculptured thin films were studied using X ray diffraction pattern (XRD). The cross section of the helical structures was observed using Field emission scanning electron microscopic images (FESEM). The surface morphology and grain size of the obtained thin films were examined using atomic force microscope images (AFM) and the percentage of surface porosity of the samples was obtained. Antibacterial properties were investigated for two types of bacteria in both under light and no-light conditions. The results showed that the Zinc Sulfide sculptured helical thin films have antibacterial properties and with increasing the porosity of these structures, the antibacterial properties increase. The increase in antibacterial properties with increasing porosity was attributed to the greater cross-sectional area of ​​contact with bacteria. It was also found that the antibacterial properties of these structures improve under light radiation
