Synthesis of Novel Sea-Urchin-Like CdS and Their Optical Properties.

???displayArticle.abstract???
A novel morphology of CdS sea-urchin-like microstructures is synthesized by simple thermal evaporation process. Microstructures with average size of 20-50 μm are composed of single crystalline CdS nanobelts. The structural, compositional, morphological characterization of the product were examined by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction while optical properties are investigated by Photoluminescence spectroscopy and time-resolved Photoluminescence measurements. The tentative growth mechanism for the growth of sea-urchin-like CdS is proposed and described briefly. A strong green emission with a maximum around 517 nm was observed from the individual CdS microstructure at room temperature, which was attributed to band-edge emission of CdS. These Novel structures exhibit excellent lasing (stimulated emission) with low threshold (9.07 μJ cm(-2)) at room temperature. We analyze the physical mechanism of stimulated emission. These results are important in the design of green luminescence, low-threshold laser and display devices in the future.
