Abstract

Identifying and mapping the crystalline phases and orientation relationships on the local scale in core-shell ZnO nanowire heterostructures are of primary importance to improve the interface quality, which governs the performances of the nanoscale devices. However, this represents a major difficulty, especially when the expected polytypes exhibit very similar properties as in the case of CdSe. In the present work, we address that issue in ZnO nanowire heterostructures involving a uniform and highly conformal CdSe shell grown by molecular beam epitaxy. It is shown by x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy through the occurrence of the (101̄0) and (101̄1) diffraction peaks and of the [Formula: see text] mode at 34 cm
