Optical and electrical properties of single Sb(2)Se(3) nanorod

Abstract

In this report. methods of solvothermal synthesis of Sb(2)Se(3) nanorods from a single-source precursor Sb[Se(2)P(O (1)Pr)(2)](3) were demonstrated The synthesized Sb(2)Se(3) nanorods were expected to have new optical and electrical properties. With the electron beam (E-beam) lithography and focus ion beam (FIB) techniques, we achieved immobilization and positioning of a single Sb(2)Se(3) nanorod on a patterned template. By using the confocal Raman microscope and two-point.-contact electrical measurement methods, we obtained optical and electrical characteristics from a single Sb(2)Se(3) nanorod (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
