Abstract

The cluster assembly method reported here employs V-grooves as templates for nanowire fabrication. This technique allows the formation of contacted electrically conducting nanowires using simple optical lithography and without painstaking manipulation of the clusters. In-vacuum, temperature dependent I(V) measurements were performed on Bi wires with widths ∼1 μm and lengths 50 μm. The temperature dependent resistance of the Bi wires is explained by the variation in the carrier concentration in Bi with temperature.
