Electrochemical fabrication of bismuth nanowires in polycarbonate template

In this work, bismuth (Bi) nanowires were successfully prepared by electrodeposition method using polycarbonate template. The fabrication of Bi nanowires was controlled by analysing the current-time transient during electrodeposition using potentiostat. The morphological properties of the nanowires were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Each nanowire had the same diameter of 90 nm. X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD) showed that Bi grows in rhombohedral lattice structures. Elemental analysis of bismuth nanowires was carried out using proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS
