Fabrication of Aluminium Nanowires by
Differential Pressure InJection |
|
The
reported study aims to demonstrate the application of a simple
technique, which is referred to as pressure differential
injection, to prepare metallic nanowires. This technique relies
on the difference in pressure between the inside of sealed
nanochannels of an anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) substrate and
the ambient atmosphere to inject a molten metal, which is
previously deposited on the substrate, into the AAO pores. The
application of this technique enabled the fabrication of
nanowires in aluminium with diameters comprised between 55 nm
and 65 nm. |
