Abstract
Nanocrystalline PbSe was synthesized via a sonochemical reaction of Pb(NO3) (2) with elemental Se in ethylenediamine under ambient conditions. The samp le was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electr on microscope (TEM) and elemental analysis. XRD patterns showed that phase- pure PbSe was produced. The PbSe particles were spherical and about 30 nm i n size as indicated by TEM observations. The influence of ultrasound and so lvent was also discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A.
