Controlling crystal growth orientation and crystallinity of cadmium sulfide nanocrystals in aqueous phase by using cationic surfactant

Dispersed CdS single crystals were obtained viaa hydrothermal method by using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a surfactant. The strong interaction between the cationic head group of CTAB and the (001) plane of CdS hexagonal crystals results in a single-crystalline growth along the [100] dir...
