Abstract

The structural properties of ZnxCd1-xTe ternary nanorods for (x= 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75) have been investigated by performing classical molecular dynamics simulations at various temperatures. An atomistic many-body potential energy function has been used to represent the interparticle interactions. It has been found that the structural properties of ZnxCd1-xTe ternary nanorods show a dependence on stoichiometry and temperature.
