Popis: Novel multipods-branched Cd-Se-S micro-/nanostructures (MNSs) were successfully prepared in a tube furnace by thermal evaporation under atmospheric pressure through using high-purity CdS and CdSe mixture powder with a molar ratio of 1:1 as evaporation source, high-purity Ar gas as carrier and protective gas, and mica wafer as substrate. Under the optimum condition, the evaporation temperature was 1100 °C, Ar gas flow rate was 200 sccm, and the distance between the evaporation source and substrate was 22 cm. The microstructure examination revealed that the length of the obtained branches was up to tens of microns and the diameter of the branches was of a few microns. The composition and crystal structure analyses indicated that, the chemical composition of the multipods-branched Cd-Se-S MNSs was CdSe0.86S0.14, which had a hexagonal structure and good crystallinity. The photoluminescence spectrum at room temperature displays an intrinsic emission peak around 620 nm. In addition, their growth might be controlled by a vapor-solid mechanism.
