Growth and characterization of single-crystal ZnSe nanorods via surfactant soft-template method

The growth and characterization of ZnSe nanoneedles by a simple chemical vapor deposition method

“…As an important wide-band-gap semiconductor, ZnSe is one of the promising materials for fabricating short-wavelength opto-electronic devices such as blue-green laser diodes, blue-ultraviolet photodetector, saturable-absorber Q switch and film solar cells [1][2][3][4]. Recently, ZnSe 1D nanostructures have been synthesized by various techniques such as metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) [5,6], molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) [7,8] and wet chemical methods [9,10]. However, the reported ZnSe 1D nanostructures were almost in the form of nanowires with the lengths of several microns.…”

Preparation of 3D ZnSe novel structure

“…However, there is little progress in this field. Though the isolated ZnSe nanowires, nanorods 1D structure have been synthesized through laser ablation method [12], atomic layer deposition process [13], solvothermal route [14], surfactant soft-template method [15] and metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) [16], the procedures and devices they employed are relatively complicated or expensive. Recently, 1D ZnSe nanostructures have also been synthesised using relatively simple chemical vapour deposition using ZnSe powder [16] or using gold as catalyst on the [100] silicon substrate [10].…”

A facile synthesis of malic acid capped ZnSe transparent nanopellets and its optical properties

“…3(c) shows the PL spectrum of malic acid capped ZnSe transparent nanopellets. Lv et al and Du et al reported that the near band edge emission/ PL emission peak was at 453 nm for the ZnSe nanorods/nanoflakes [20,21]. The PL spectrum shows strong emission peak at 428 nm.…”
