What Does Nanowire Mean?
Nanowire is a solid rod-like material or structure with diameter on the order of nanometers. Similar to conventional wires, they are also manufactured from semiconducting metal oxides, metals or carbon nanotubes. Due to their size they exhibit unique thermal, chemical, electronic, optical and mechanical properties which are not found in bulk materials and which have their related fields of applications.
Techopedia Explains Nanowire
Nanowire is produced under controlled conditions, and can be manufactured via several processes, such as vapor deposition, vapor-liquid synthesis and suspension. Nanowire can be metallic, insulating or semiconducting.
