Self-Assembled Growth of ZnS Nanobelt Networks

By using a H 2 -assisted thermal evaporation approach, ZnS nanobelts were grown on a Si substrate and self-assembled into a network structure. A vapor-solid process coupled with vapor−liquid−solid process is proposed for the formation of the ZnS nanobelts and their assembly. This functional structure may be well applied in the study of the electronic properties of ZnS nanobelts and other devices.
