  • Employed micro-photoluminescence measurements to characterize the optical properties.
  • Investigated the role of CdSe substrate crystalline orientations and local temperatures in CdS growth.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully synthesized aligned and orientation-ordered CdS micro/nanostructures on various CdSe nanostructure substrates.
    • Observed that CdSe substrate orientation and temperature significantly influence CdS growth, deviating from typical VLS mechanisms.
    • Demonstrated strong luminescence from the six-fold symmetrical CdSe/CdS nanostructures.

    Conclusions:

    • The study presents a controllable method for growing aligned CdS nanostructures on CdSe substrates.
    • The growth mechanism is influenced by substrate crystallography and temperature, offering an alternative to VLS.
    • This technique holds promise for fabricating diverse aligned orientation-ordered hetero-nano/microstructure materials for future applications.
