Abstract

Unconventional zigzag indium phosphide (InP) single-crystalline and twinned nanowires were produced via thermal evaporation of indium phosphide in the presence of zinc selenide. The structure and morphology of the as-synthesized products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Studies found that two type of nanowires exist in the products, namely, the periodic-rhombus-decorated single-crystalline InP (type I) nanowires and jagged twinned InP (type II) nanowires. Both of them have preferential 〈111〉 growth directions. The optical properties were also investigated at room temperature, and they show that the nanowires display a strong emission at ∼ 750 nm, which is quite different from that observed in all previous reports related to the InP nanostructures.
