Abstract
A method is described for fabricating multiple nanowires of uniform length from a single precursor nucleation particle. The method includes growing a first nanowire segment from a nanoparticle and growing a second nanowire segment between the first nanowire segment and the nanoparticle. The first nanowire segment and the second nanowire segment have a different solubility.
Claims7
An apparatus comprising:
- a nanoparticle;
- and
- a plurality of nanowire segments attached to the nanoparticle, wherein at least two of the nanowire segments have a different solubility.
