Epitaxial II–VI tripod nanocrystals : a generalization of van der Waals epitaxy for nonplanar polytypic nanoarchitectures

We report for the first time the synthesis of nonplanar epitaxial tripod nanocrystals of II–VI compounds (ZnO, ZnS, ZnSe, ZnTe, CdS, CdSe, and CdTe) on muscovite mica substrate. With CdS as a case study, we conclude via Raman spectroscopy and electron microscopy studies that the tripods, which are f...
