Novel Zn1-xMnxSe (x=0.1-0.4) one-dimensional nanostructures: Nanowires, zigzagged nanobelts, and toothed nanosaws
Novel Zn1-xMnxSe one-dimensional nanostructuresstraight nanowires (x = 0.1 and 0.3), zigzagged nanobelts (x = 0.4), and toothed nanosaws (x = 0.4)were synthesized using the chemical vapor deposition method. They all consisted of single-crystalline wurtzite ZnSe crystals, irrespective of the Mn content. In particular, the nanosaws have a unique structure in which double-sided teeth are rooted in the nanowire core and bent so as to align as two parallel rows. The long axis is parallel to the [01 $$($) over bar0] direction, and all of the teeth have the [0001] growth direction. The X-ray diffraction pattern confirms the formation of wurtzite ZnSe crystal and the decrease of the lattice constant owing to Mn doping. The Mn2+ emission at 2.1 eV (appeared below 100 K), originating from the d-d (T-4(1) -> (6)A(1)) transition, proves the effective substitution of Mn2+ ions at the tetrahedral coordinate sites.
