Abstract
Free-standing Pd nanowires of controlled size are synthesized by these auth ors via chemical vapor infiltration of an organometallic precursor into mes oporous silicate. The thus generated Pd nanowires can be isolated by additi on of HF to remove the silicate matrix. Wires ranging from 3.7-8.8 nm in di ameter and up to several hundred nanometers in length can be obtained (see Figure), depending on the silica template used. [GRAPHICS]
