Photoluminescence study of CdSe nanorods embedded in a PVA matrix

► In situ synthesis of PVA:n-CdSe via chemical bath method at room temperature. □ From TEM image, the three arm nanorods morphology of PVA:n-CdSe is obtained. ► The optical constants i.e. n, k, ε1, ε2 and σopt are calculated. ► Exhibiting green band photoemission peak at 540 nm.
