Formation and Optical Properties of CdI2 Nanostructures

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

Nano-sized structures (nanopores, nanoclusters, nanowires) that formed on van-der-Waals surfaces of CdI2 during their curing in air under near-equilibrium thermodynamic conditions were found using atomic-force microscopy. A mechanism of nanocluster formation was proposed. They nucleated and grew in nano-sized pores. Aggregation of the nanoclusters gave rise to the formation of nanowires. Photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy showed that the nanoclusters contained cadmium hydroxide [Cd(OH)2)] and oxide (CdO). A formation mechanism of these nanophases was proposed.
