Abstract

Zn<sub>x</sub> Cd<sub>1</sub> <sub>-</sub> <sub>x</sub> S single-crystal nanoribbons of controlled composition (where 0 ≤ x ≤ 1) can be synthesized by combining laser ablation with thermal evaporation. The nanoribbons exhibit lasing emission that can be continuously tuned within the ranges of 340-390 nm and 485-515 nm. These results suggest that Zn<sub>x</sub> Cd<sub>1-</sub> <sub>x</sub> S nanoribbon lasers of pre-selected "tunable" wavelengths between 340 and 515 nm may be achievable by tailoring the value of x.
