Abstract:
The polycarbonate (PC) membranes with the thickness of 30 μm were irradiated with swift heavy ions provided by accelerator. Ion-track templates were obtained after illuminated by UV light and etched. The InSb nanowires were successfully prepared in the ion-track templates using electrochemical codeposition method. The morphology of as-prepared InSb nanowires was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and their structure was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Finally, the optimum conditions for fabrication of InSb nanowires were proposed.
