Abstract
We report the synthesis of CdS nanoparticles in the form of spheres, triangles and wire-like structures.
The method involves the reaction of reduced sulfur with a cadmium salt followed by thermolysisin
hexadecylamine(HDA). The different shapes were obtained by variation of reaction conditions such as
reaction time, temperature and cadmium source. The optical studies show the particles to be quantum
confined and luminescentat room temperature
