and grow by examining the reaction solution at different times during the synthesis. The team also varied the temperature, solvents, and reactants to determine their role in the nanocrystals’ formation and growth. The ultimate goal of this project is to understand the synthesis well enough to develop new procedures to grow ZnSe nanorods with specific diameter and length.
