Abstract

Cadmium oxide nanomaterial have been successfully fabricated from the horizontal vapor phase growth at 200°C, and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX). SEM image shows that the nanomaterial has a needle and rod-like structure of 15 microns length, with 100 nm tail end and tip size of 0.5 microns ideal for cantilever nanoprobe applications. EDX analyses indicate that these CdO nanomaterials crystallize in its original composition. The growth mechanism of the nanomaterial is also proposed as a solid-vapor–solid mechanism without a catalyst.
