Sol-Gel Template Synthesis of an Array of Single Crystal CdS Nanowires on a Porous Alumina Template

An array of single crystal CdS nanowires has been fabricated in the pores of an alumina membrane by sol–gel synthesis. The CdS crystals have a hexagonal structure, which is verified by electron diffraction. As CdS is an important semiconducting material this synthesis may prove very useful for the f...

Summary:An array of single crystal CdS nanowires has been fabricated in the pores of an alumina membrane by sol–gel synthesis. The CdS crystals have a hexagonal structure, which is verified by electron diffraction. As CdS is an important semiconducting material this synthesis may prove very useful for the fabrication of nanosized semiconducting structures. The Figure shows a scanning electron microscopy image of the nanowires.
