Growth and Physical Property Study of Single Nanowire (Diameter ~45 nm) of Half Doped Manganite

Figure 6

(a) Cr/Au contact pads deposited on SiO2 substrate by thermal evaporation using hard mask, (b) SEM image of single nanowire of diameter ~45 nm, and (c) SEM image of four-wire electrical contact made of Pt by using FIB. The white lined arrows in (a) indicate the area where the nanowires are dispersed and made contact with FIB. The yellow lined arrow indicates that nanowire is connected to four contact pads by Focused Electron Beam (FEB), and after that these are connected to gold contact pads by FIB.
