Broken Band Alignment in EuS-CdS Nanoheterostructures

Integration of multiple materials in a controllably programmed manner on the nanoscale has led to the evolution of the next generation of nanoparticles. We have explored the formation of bifunctional europium sulfide − cadmium chalcogenide composite nanostructures, as both of the semiconductor materials exhibit intriguing physical characteristics, suggesting that architectural tunability of these hybrid structures could have interesting effects …
