Crystalline Structure, Surface Morphology and Optical Properties of Nanolamellar Composites Obtained by Intercalation of InSe with Cd

A material composed of InSe and CdSe crystallites was obtained by heat treatment at 753K of InSe single crystalline plates in Cd vapour for 3÷24 hours. The average diameters of CdSe and InSe crystallites determined from diffraction lines analysis are respectively equal to 20 nm and 22 nm. The photoluminescence spectra at 300K and 80K of composite decompose well into two Gaussian curves, one is in good correlation with the photoluminescence of CdSe crystals and the other is shifted to higher energies than the width of the band gap of CdSe crystals.
