Description of Copper Nanowires
A nanowire is defined as a one-dimensional structure with a lateral dimension of less than 100 nanometres (with no confinement in the longitudinal direction). At this scale, quantum mechanical effects become significant; hence, they are also referred to as "quantum wires". Nanowires are employed in the manufacture of ultra-small circuits.
Owing to their favourable electrical, mechanical and chemical properties, Cu nanowires satisfy the material requirements of future optoelectronic devices. The low cost and high availability of Cu nanowires render further research into this material significant.
