Abstract:
Macroscopic-long Ag nanowires have been synthesized through an improved solid-state ionics method and characterized at different spatial scales. Using a bundle of as-fabricated Ag nanowires to connect with two bulk Ag electrodes, two Ag heterodimensional junctions are formed into an electrical circuit. Thermo- and photoinduced electromotive forces are observed and the corresponding voltages are measured in the circuit on the macroscale. For the photoinduced voltage, the fast dynamic response of the circuit, irradiated locally by 532nm and 10.6μm lasers, is exhibited. The studied low-dimensional effects need to be taken into account in future applications of Ag nanowires.
