In this study, free standing crystalline ZnSe nanorings and nanowires have been fabricated on Au coated Si substrates by simple thermal evaporation of ZnSe powders. Ring-or wirelike morphology can be achieved in a controllable manner by using different reactor pressures during growth, while all the other conditions remain the same. Our results show that the ZnSe nanorings are wurtzite phase instead of the zinc-blende phase, observed in typical one-dimensional ZnSe nanostructures. The growth mechanism of the nanorings has been discussed, and the cathodoluminescence of the nanorings has been described.
