Abstract
In this work palladium nanowires have been synthesized by a templatenanomanufacturing technique and their electrical properties have been studied.Freshly cleaved highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) was exposed toPdCl2 solution and cyclic voltametry was used to obtain the deposition of the nanowires on the‘V’ shaped grooves of HOPG. The morphology of the nanowires was analysed using anatomic force microscope (AFM) in non-contact mode and the diameter of theobserved nanowires was measured to be approximately 250 nm. Scanning electronmicroscope (SEM) images revealed that the nanowires fabricated by this procedurewere parallel and continuous. The deposited nanowires were transferred on apolystyrene film. The microelectrodes required to study the electrical propertieshave been patterned by silver evaporation and by shadow masking using a60 µm tungsten wire. The electrical resistance measurements have shown that the array ofnanowires is conducting and has resistance of the order of kilo-ohms.
