Preparation and characterization of pure phase CdMnTe nanopowders by a hydrothermal route

Abstract

CdMnTe high-quality and pure phase nanopowders, with diameters of 20 nm to 100 nm, were synthesized by a hydrothermal route using mercapto propionic acid as the stabilizer. A CdMnTe single crystal was produced by melting method and flash sintering using CdMnTe nanopowder.
