Abstract
Uniform gold nanowires were synthesized by electrodepositing the gold under a very low ac frequency in the pores of an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template. The surface of the Au/AAO composite is very even and appeared purplish red. Atomic force microscopy observation indicates that the template membranes we obtained have hexagonally close-packed nanochannels. The gold nanowire array is very orderly arranged after partially dissolving the aluminum oxide membrane. Gold nanowires were also characterized by transmission electron microscopy and the phase structure of the Au/AAO composite was proved by X-ray diffraction.
