Abstract
15 μm thick polycarbonate films were irradiated with Ni ions (11.64 MeV/n) having fluence of the order of 106 ions/cm2. Irradiated foils were etched chemically in 6N NaOH solution at 50°C for 12 minutes to obtain the cylindrical pores having average diameter of 100 nm. Cylindrical pores in these membranes have been used as templates for the synthesis of copper nanowires. A two-electrode electrochemical cell was used for copper electrodeposition in porous polycarbonate templates from acidic copper sulphate solution at 29 ± 1° C . The morphology of copper nanowires were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Effects of microwave treatment on these nanowires were also studied.
