Novel method synthesis of CdO nanowires

Abstract

Large-scale single-crystalline CdO nanowires have been successfully fabricated from the electrochemical deposition mixture film of Cd and Te at 450°C, and characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD) powder, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). SEM and TEM images show that these nanowires are uniform with diameters of about 40–60 nm, length up to several tens micrometres. XRD and selected area electron diffraction analyses altogether indicate that these CdO nanowires crystallize in a NaCl cubic structure. The growth mechanism of these nanowires is also proposed as vapour–liquid–solid mechanism, in which Te serves as a liquid-forming agent.

On the possibility of ferromagnetism in CdO:Mn at room temperature

“…Bulk CdO is an n-type semiconductor with a direct band gap of 2.5 eV and an indirect band gap of 1.98 eV [1,2], even though reports of 2.32 and 1.36 eV are also available [2,3]. CdO thin films exhibit large third-order nonlinear optical properties [4].…”

“…Lots of experimental and theoretical efforts have been devoted to search for [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16] and to interpret [17,18,19,20,21,22,23] 132 Cs, 134 La) [6,10], N = 75 ( 130 Cs, 132 La, 134 Pr, 136 Pm, 138 Eu) [2,4,5,7], N = 73 ( 128 Cs, 130 La, 132 Pr) [3,16] , and N = 71 ( 126 Cs) [8,13] isotones. close to be in the middle of the νh 11/2 subshell.…”

“…11 Although clear electrodes, diodes, gas sensors, and antibacterial activity, for example, are other potential physical applications, these materials have widely been used to meet desirable requirements. [12][13][14][15] There have been several CdO nanostructures forms created at a variety of nanoscales for several purposes and applications, eg, nanoclusters, 16 nanowires and nanotubes, [17][18][19] nanoparticles (NPs), 20,21 nanocrystals, 22 nanorodes, 23 and many more exotic structures, eg, CdO-like nanoflower 24 and CdO nanoflake arrays, 25 among others. 26,27 Similarly, hexagonal ZnO is a II-VI composite semiconductor made of the metallic element zinc (II) and the non-metallic element oxygen (VI).…”
