Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) nanorods with diameter of 3.7 nm and length of about 50 nm were successfully synthesized using the hot coordinating solvent method. Phase and composition characterization showed that the nanorods grew along the [001] direction and have the wurtzite structure. A systematic...
