Abstract
Abstract A new method is reported for the growth of copper selenide thin films and nanoparticles using copper acetylacetonate and trioctylphosphine selenide. Aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition experiments lead to successful deposition of tetragonal Cu 2 Se films. In contrast, hexadecylamine capped nanoparticles are composed of cubic Cu 2− x Se. The deposited materials are optically and structurally characterized. The results of this comprehensive study are described and discussed.
