Abstract

ZnSe nanoparticles with an average size of 15 nm were prepared using the ultrasonic radiation method. The characterization was carried out by means of XRD, TEM, XPS and Raman scattering spectroscopy. The experimental results indicate that the as-prepared powders are composed of ZnSe with zinc-blende structure. The high purity of ZnSe particles was confirmed by XPS analysis. In the Raman spectra, TO and LO phonon modes were observed at 205 and 257 cm−1 in the ZnSe nanoparticles.
