This advantage can be used for growing nanowires (wires with nanometric diameter). Nanoporous membranes that can be fabricated by the anodic oxidation of aluminum are appropriate templates. This process leads to the formation of an alumina layer with parallel nanopores, as shown in Fig. 15A, which can then be filled by electrodeposition. Fig. 15B shows a schematic view of a multilayer nanowire and Fig.l5C a transmission electron microscopy image of a Cu/ CuCoNi layered nanowire grown in the nanopores.

All the mesoporous ceramic oxides obtained by this method are amorphous on the atomic level, but show periodicities on the nanometer length scale and narrow pore size distribution. The outcome of the process is very predictable, as the binary phase diagram of the surfactant can be used as a guideline towards the nanostructure design. The transmission electron microscopy images of siH-cas derived from three different LLC surfactant phases are shown in Fig. 3.

Figure 6 SEM (scanning electron microscopy) image of a test pattern prepared by direct-writing EBCL and surface initiated polymerization (SIPP) of styrene. On the left, line widths of 500 to to nm of the primary patterns were directly written onto the substrate by the e-beam. Below, some text and the biphenyl structure were inscribed to demonstrate that complex structures can easily be realized by this technique. The defects observable are due to adsorption of impurities aftCT the process was completed. (Reproduced from Ref. 34. WUey-VCH, 2007.)...
