Abstract

XU Shi_min, XUE Kuan_hong , KONG Jing_lin, SUN Dong_mei, FENG Yu_ying, LU Hai_yan (Dept. of Chem., Nanjing Normal Univ., Nanjing 210097, China) WANG Guang_hou (National Laboratory of Solid State Microstructures, Nanjing Univ., Nanjing 210093, China)The porous alumina membrane formed in the anodic oxidation of highly pure aluminum foil has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years [1] . It can be served as a desired template to prepare nanometer scale materials [2] due to its unique structure of discrete and cylindrical nanopores, paralleled one another, with the homogeneous size and distribution [3] . Chalcogenide semiconductors have promising prospect in the applications of photovoltaic [4] and photoconducting devices [5] and have been extensively exploited for many years. Olbright and his co_workers studied experimentally and theoretically the optical nonlinearties of CdS xSe 1-x _doped glass [6] ; Britt and Ferekides reported that the conversion efficiency in a solar cell of thin_film CdS/CdTe could be as high as 15.8% [7] . Here we report the fabrication and UV_Vis absorption spectra of CdS、CdSe and Cd xZn 1-x S nanowire arrays deposited into the template matrix of porous alumina. The diameters of these nanowires were varied from 10 nm to 50 nm in our experiments.
