ZnSe nanotrenches: formation mechanism and its role as a 1D template
نویسندگان
چکیده
High-resolution transmission electron microscopy was used to characterize the microstructures of ZnSe nanotrenches induced by mobile Au-alloy droplets. The contact side interfaces between the AuZnδ alloy droplets and the ZnSe as well as the four side walls of the resulting <011>-oriented nanotrenches were found all belong to the {111} plane family, with the front and back walls being the {111}A planes while the other two side walls being the {111}B planes. These findings offer a deeper understanding on the formation mechanism of the nanotrenches. Pure Au nanodashes were formed upon further deposition of Au on the nanotrenches.PACS: 61.46.Df, Structure of nanocrystals and nanoparticles. 81.16.Rf, Micro and nanoscale pattern formation. 68.37.Og, High resolution transmission electron microscopy.

Self-assembled alkali and alkaline earth metal nanopatterns on Fe3O4„001..
We have studied the mechanism of nanopattern formation by self-assembly of impurities aggregated on the Fe3O4s001d surface. Self-assembly was controlled by thermal diffusion from the bulk of natural and artificial single crystals. We show that the diffusion of potassium and calcium is of fundamental importance to the surface dynamics of magnetite. The self-assembly of Ca and K impurities, combi...
متن کاملThe Role of Ethanol, Methyltriphenylphosphonium Bromide and Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide as Directing Agents in Hydrothermal Synthesis of Aluminosilicate Molecular Sieve (ZSM-5) and Its Morphologies
Zeolite ZSM-5 presents a great source of interest in catalysis because of its shape selective properties. The absence of a relationship between the template size and shape of the structure generated during the synthesis of zeolites is illustrated by the case of ZSM-5. In this study, we have investigated the role of ethanol, methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (MTPBr) and cetyltrimethylammonium b...
متن کاملAll-wurtzite ZnO/ZnSe hetero-nanohelix: formation, mechanics and luminescence.
A unique all-wurtzite ZnO/ZnSe hetero-nanohelix is formed via growing wurtzite ZnSe nanoteeth on ZnO nanobelts through a one step thermal evaporation method. The microstructure and growth mechanism of the hetero-nanohelix are investigated in detail. The formation of metastable wurtzite ZnSe is attributed to the wurtzite ZnO template. Mechanical forces, thermal expansion and polar plane in hexag...
متن کاملCation Exchange Synthesis and Unusual Resistive Switching Behaviors of Ag2Se Nanobelts.
Ag2Se nanobelts are prepared through employing ZnSe nanobelts as templates via a facile cation exchange approach. The templates are derived from precursor ZnSe·0.5N2 H4 nanobelts, which are synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. As-synthesized precursor nanobelts are with 200 nm in width and several hundreds of micrometers in length. Annealed in N2 , they are transformed into ZnSe nanobel...

In this work, the synthesis of porous structure of cadmium oxide with multilayered sheet-like morphology in nano-meter size using adipic acid as soft template by solvothermal/thermal decomposition process is reported. Chemical analyses exhibited that the formation of porous sheet-like structure is originated from bidentate coordination mode of adipate units to Cd-center. It was found that the c...
