Observation of interesting regular/irregular pine-tree like secondary growth over these hierarchical nanoarchitectures is an important aspect of this work. Cadmium acetate and thiourea were used as precursor materials and were dissolved in solution containing mixture of diethylene triamine (DETA) and deionised water (DIW) in different volume ratios prior to subjecting the resultant solution to microwave radiation of 300 W at a reaction time of 10 min and temperature of 140 degrees C. XRD revealed formation of hexagonal CdS with strong (002) preferred orientation (c-axis orientation). Morphology dependent optical properties are studied using room temperature photoluminescence spectroscopy. We feel such secondary growth will be highly favourable in determining the non-linear properties of optoelectronic devices fabricated using such novel hierarchical nanoarchitectures.</p>10aCdS10ahierarchical nanoarchitectures10aMicrowave10aNanorods10asecondary growth10asolvothermal synthesis1 aShinde, Manish, D.1 aPawar, Amol, U.1 aSreeja, V.1 aRane, Sunit1 aPotdar, Hari, S.1 aAmalnerkar, Dinesh, P.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/rapid-generation-hierarchical-nanoarchitectures-cds-facile-microwave-assisted-0
