چکیده
We demonstrate the deterministic shape-selective synthesis and growth of CdSe nanowires, nanosaws and nanoribbons by a simple vapour-transport process in a tube furnace. The key step, in order to achieve reproducible shape selectivity for a given set of deposition parameters, is to exclude any effects of the temperature ramping. We prove that an efficient precursor-flow shutter is achieved just by varying the total furnace pressure. We then present a shape-diagram linking the different nanocrystals morphologies to only two parameters: powder and substrate temperature. These are varied in the 550-700 °C and 400-600 °C range, respectively. A model explaining the shape control is discussed.

Shape-selective synthesis of II-VI semiconductor nanowires
Polar II–VI semiconductors can nucleate in complex shapes ranging from nanowires to nanoribbons, nanosaws and multipods. Here we demonstrate the deterministic and fully reproducible shape-selective growth of several morphologies of CdSe and ZnTe nanocrystals by a steady-state vapour transport process. A simple pressure-based precursor-flow shutter excludes any effects of temperature ramping, en...
متن کاملCatalytic and seeded shape-selective synthesis of II–VI semiconductor nanowires
We demonstrate catalytic and seeded shape-selective growth of CdSe nanostructures by a steady-state vapor-transport process. By varying the powder and sample temperatures, we observe a transition from a regime where catalytic growth is dominant to a metal-free self-induced nucleation regime. We then show that the best structural and optical quality are obtained by using CdSe colloidal nanocryst...
متن کاملSingle-crystal CdSe nanosaws.
We report the first successful synthesis and characterization of single-crystal wurtzite CdSe nanoribbons through a simple thermal evaporation process. Asymmetric growth of the nanoribbons occurs, yielding a sawlike shape with sharp teeth on one side. This asymmetric growth is suggested to be induced by the polarization of the c-plane in the wurtzite crystal structure.
متن کاملGold catalytic Growth of Germanium Nanowires by chemical vapour deposition method
Germanium nanowires (GeNWs) were synthesized using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) based on vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) mechanism with Au nanoparticles as catalyst and germanium tetrachloride (GeCl4) as a precursor of germanium. Au catalysts were deposited on silicon wafer as a thin film, firstly by sputtering technique and secondly by submerging the silicon substrates in Au colloidal s...
