Highly emissive CdTe nanowires grown in a phosphate buffer solution: FLIM imaging and spectroscopic studies

We present details on the formation and optical peroperties of CdTe nanowires, which were found to grow in a standard phosphate-buffered solution, including micro-photoluminescence and fluorescence lifetime imaging.
