19. My opinion
I measured 20 NWs by ESM and EDX. The compositions of thin NWs were ZnSe
ZnO NWs weren’t grown on ZnSe NWs

Before using EDX,
I guessed this structure

After using EDX, I believe it was happened in the furnace

To grow the NW, I use a chemical vapor deposition method. Before growth NWs, As preparation of Au deposition , I prepare Si substrates, which is (100) p-type, and clean up the surface and get rid of the oxide layer using Aseton, IPA, DI water, and Hydrofluoric, and then deposit 10 nm Au film on the Si substrate by a thermal evaporation method. Au help growth of NWs as a catalyst.
そして、Ar gas を流す。Ar gus was introduced into the tube.
I use a two steps chemical vapor deposition method
In the first step, I prepared source materials of ZnO and C with mass ration of 1 to 1.
I deposit the 10 nm of the Au film on the Si substrate, as the catalyst.
the ZnSe films were prepared by vacuum evaporation method under the pressure better than 10-5 Torr on chemically cleaned glass substrates from 99.99% pure
ZnSe powder (Aldrich) using molybdenum boat.

Look at the bottom two pictures
The SEM images on the left side is before growing ZnSe NWs, right side is after growing ZnO NWs on the ZnSe NWs
This is the PL spectrum data from ZnO and ZnO/ZnSe core/shell NWs. Basically, There is a ZnSe DL emission.
As shown in enlarged figure, There is a slightly ZnO BE emission.
The top Left and the top right are the same magnification. The bottom ones as well.
There is the BE emission, also the strong DL emission observed
I’d like to thank you (for 〜)
I measure the Reduction of source materials each time
