Cadmium oxide nanostructure was synthesized by solid-vapor deposition without catalyst. CdO powder was heated to 1320 K in a tube furnace, and the resultant vapor was carried to the silicon substrate zone by an argon flow. Field emission scanning electron microscopy revealed that the product was dendrite –like petals of CdO nanostructure. X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray techniques were used to characterize structural properties. The grown nanostructure had random orientations and a grain size of 30 nm. Photoluminescence spectroscopy was conducted to investigate the optical properties of the nanostructure. The red-shift direct band gap energy of CdO nanostructure was at 548 nm (2.26 eV), whereas that of CdO bulk was at 491 nm (2.5 eV). High-quality CdO nanostructure was grown on a Si substrate and then investigated..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
