Abstract
Arrays of semimetallic Bi nanowires have been successfully fabricated by electrodeposition. Each nanowire consists of elongated Bi grains al ong the wire direction. Very large positive magnetoresistance of 300% at low temperatures and 70% at room temperature with quasilinear field dependence has been observed. These features are desirable for wide-r ange field sensing applications. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physic s. [S0003-6951(98)00236-8].
