Abstract
Cu-doped CdS nanowires were synthesized within the pores of anodic alumina membrane as template via electrochemical deposition. Morphological, structural, optical and photoconductive properties of the synthesized nanowires were studied. Morphological and structural properties were studied by using SEM with EDS (point & line mapper mode) and X-Ray Diffractometer. Scanning electron microscopy with point EDS and line EDS mapping confirms the deposition of pure CdS and Cu-doped CdS throughout the template length respectively. XRD investigations shows the presence of polycrystalline phase and cubic structure of pristine CdS nanowires. Optical properties were studied by UV
