Nanobelts, Nanocombs, and Nanowindmills of Wurtzite ZnS

Abstract

Nanostructures of wurtzite‐structured zinc sulfide , which is unlikely to be stable at room temperature under conventional conditions, have been synthesized by a simple physical process. Morphologies with belt‐ (see Figure), saw‐, comb‐, and windmill‐like nanostructures have been observed and characterized using a variety of imaging techniques.
