“…One-dimensional (1D) nanostructures have attracted tremendous attention because of their proven potential use as both interconnects and functional units in electronic, optoelectronic and electrochemical devices [1,2]. Zinc sulfide (ZnS) is an important wide band gap (Eg = 3.6 eV at 300 K) semiconductor, which is considered important for applications such as ultraviolet-light-emitting diodes, electroluminescent devices, flat-panel displays, sensors and injection lasers [3][4][5][6][7].…”
