Abstract

We report a novel approach for growing aligned and orientation-ordered ZnS nanowires. Our method relies on a buffer layer of CdSe grown on a Si(111) substrate, on which ZnS nanowires are grown. The growth process of the nanowire bundles is presented. The technique demonstrated could be an effective pathway for growing patterned, aligned, size-controlled, and orientation-ordered ZnS nanowires.
