Abstract

Arrays of nanowires have attracted considerable recent attention due to their unique electronic and optical properties. While much effort has been directed at fabricating arrays and measuring their properties, much less has been done to characterize these materials. Understanding the structure and composition of the constituents in these arrays is crucial in order to control their properties. In this work, arrays with wire diameters from 35-90nm were fabricated by pressure injecting liquid bismuth into porous alumina templates. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and analytical electron microscopy (AEM) were used to characterize the arrays.
