Popis: | Lead selenide (PbSe) nanowires were grown by magnetron sputtering on silicon with silicon dioxide (SiO2/Si) substrates, and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Closely packed PbSe nanowires of approximately 100 nm diameter grew in the ⟨111⟩ rock-salt cubic structure orientation. These large wires showed a large blueshift in the luminescence and absorption compared to the bulk crystal, demonstrating quantum confinement. This is attributed to a strong built-in field due to surface states, band bending, and a depletion layer which confines the carrier states. |
