Mn-incorporated ZnSe and CdSe 1-dimensional Nanostructures
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
Novel Mn-incorporated ZnSe and CdSe 1-dimensionl nanostructures; straight nanowires, zigzagged nanobelts, and nanohooks, were first synthesized using chemical vapor deposition method. The Mn content reaches up to 40%. They all consisted of single-crystalline wurtzite structure for all Mn content. The structure has been thoroughly investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images as well as energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The X-ray diffraction pattern confirms the formation of the wurtzite structure, even for 40% Mn incorporation. The lattice constants of Mn-doped ZnSe and CdSe 1-D nanostructures are expanded and reduced, respectively, by the Mn doping. The Mn2+ emission at 2.1 eV, originating from the d-d (4T1 → 6A1) transition, confirms the effective paramagnetic Mn2+ doping at tetrahedral coordinate sites. These Mn-incorporated nanostructures exhibit a paramagnetic behavior.
