Abstract

The authors present the results of heteroepitaxial growth of single-crystalline ZnS nanowire arrays on CdS nanoribbon substrates by the metal-catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid growth method. ZnS nanowire arrays were vertically or crosswise aligned to the surface of CdS nanoribbon substrates. Room-temperature lasing from ZnS nanowire arrays was demonstrated. The present synthesis provides a new approach to the rational design of building blocks for nanodevices.
