Abstract
Long, nanometer-size metallic wires can be synthesized by injection of the conducting melt into nanochannel insulating plates. Large-area ar rays of parallel wires 200 nanometers in diameter and 50 micrometers l ong with a packing density of 5 x 10(8) per square centimeter have bee n fabricated in this way. When charged, the ends of the wires generate strong, short-range electric fields. The nanowire electric fields hav e been imaged at high spatial resolution with a scanning force microsc ope.
