title: Selective synthesis of Zn(1 - x)Mn(x)Se nanobelts and nanotubes from [Zn(1 - x)Mn(x)Se](DETA)0.5 nanbelts in solution (x = 0-0.15) and their EPR and optical properties.
abstract: Zn(1 - x)Mn(x)Se (x = 0-0.15) nanobelts and nanotubes can be synthesized via the removal of diethylenetriamine (DETA) in 1-octadecene (ODE) and ethylene glycol (EG), respectively, using [Zn(1 - x)Mn(x)Se](DETA)(0.5) nanobelts as a template. The as-prepared ZnSe nanobelts are single-crystalline and grown along the [001] direction, and the ZnSe nanotubes consist of nanoparticles assembled along the [001] direction. In addition, Mn(2+)-doped Zn(1 - x)Mn(x)Se (x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15) nanotubes are prepared for the first time if doped [Zn(1 - x)Mn(x)Se](DETA)(0.5) nanobelts are used as the template. The formation process of Zn(1 - x)Mn(x)Se nanobelts and nanotubes has been studied, and a plausible mechanism is proposed. Photoluminescence (PL) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of Zn(1 - x)Mn(x)Se nanobelts and Zn(1 - x)Mn(x)Se nanotubes have been investigated.
