Road Map for the Controlled Synthesis of CdSe Nanowires, Nanobelts, and Nanosaws - A Step Towards Nanomanufacturing

by C. Ma & Z.L. Wang Advanced Materials, 29 Sep 2005 (online) Researchers have taken an important step toward high-volume production of new nanometer-scale structures with the first systematic study of growth conditions that affect production of one-dimensional nanostructures from the optoelectronic material cadmium selenide. Using the results from more than 150 different experiments in which temperature and pressure conditions were systematically varied, nanotechnology researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology created a "road map" to guide future nanomanufacturing using the vapor-liquid-solid technique.
