Abstract

Nanowires of Ru are a promising candidate for studying the intrinsic behavior of individual one-dimensional superconducting wires. We have prepared Ru nanowires by electrochemical deposition in porous polycarbonate membranes and characterized them structurally by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction. Ru wires with diameters of 50 and 100nm were found to be polycrystalline, consisting of ultrasmall Ru grains with a typical size of 2nm. Metallic contacts to arrays of Ru nanowire as well as individual wires were made. Electrical transport measurements showed that these wires were metallic, but not superconducting down to 0.3K.
