title: A controllable synthesis of multi-armed CdTe nanorods.
abstract: A simple, productive and low-cost route has been developed to synthesize multi-armed CdTe nanorods using myristic acid (MA) as a complex agent. The yield of this approach can reach 75%. The dimension of the multi-armed nanorods can be controlled by tuning the molar ratios of Cd/Te and Cd/MA; the diameter can be changed from 2 to 7 nm while the length from 15 to 60 nm. The hexagonal structure was confirmed in x-ray diffraction analysis. However, it was assumed that one crystal is composed of the dominant hexagonal structure along with a cubic structure in the core.
