Probing intrinsic transport properties of single metal nanowires: Direct-write contact formation using a focused ion beam

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The charge-transport properties of 70-nm-diameter platinum (Pt) nanowires (NW) were investigated using variable-temperature electrical characterization. The sample nanowires were fabricated using a pore-templated electrodeposition process and direct-write contact formation using a focused ion beam (FIB) system. In the NWs, the measured NW room-temperature resistivity indicated that the contributions were due to surface and grain boundary scattering. It was observed from the scanning electron microscopy images of Pt NWs that NWs were crystalline in shape, with a diameter of 70±5 nm and with lengths up to 5 μm.
