            Abstract : 
The authors report the growth of high density ZnSe0.9Te0.1 nanotips by molecular beam epitaxy and the fabrication of ZnSeTe nanotip photodetector. It was found that the as-grown ZnSe0.9Te0.1 nanotips were twinned with alternative multidomains and mixture of cubic zinc-blende/hexagonal wurtzite phases. With 5-V applied bias, it was found that photocurrent to dark current contrast ratio of the fabricated photodetector was larger than 700.
