Annealing Effect on Structural, Optical and Electrophysical Properties of ZnSe Nanocrystals Synthesized into SiO/Si Ion Track Template.

We report the results of synthesis of zinc selenide (ZnSe) nanocrystals into SiO/Si track templates formed by irradiation with 200 MeV Xe ions up to a fluence of 10 ions/cm. Zinc selenide nanocrystals were obtained by chemical deposition from the alkaline aqueous solution. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy, and electrical measurements were used for characterization of synthesized ZnSe/SiO/Si nanocomposites.
