Summary

  • Electrochemical method of synthesizing dense

arrays of self-assembled, functionalized, NiO nanowires (25 nm diam, 25 µm length)

  • Technique might be capable of synthesizing other
  • xide nanowires (e.g., FexOy and CorOs)
  • Growth of nanowires by cellular breakdown of

planar oxide/water interface

  • NiO nanowires are ferromagnetic and electrically

conductive
