Growth and Characterization of Undoped and Se-doped CdS Nanostructures by Physical Vapor Deposition

Undoped and Se-doped cadmium sulfide (CdS)nanostructures were grown in order to investigate their properties. Thenanostructures were grown by physical vapor deposition (PVD) in a horizontal furnace. After the growth wascompleted, the obtained samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray(EDX), and X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD). SEM images revealed that the nanostructures have rod-likeshapes. EDXand XRD patterns indicated the presence of the elements and the formation of CdS phase.
