Abstract

Ultrathin Au/Ag bimetallic nanowires with remarkable Coulomb blockade effects were synthesized using octadecylamine as both a solvent and a surfactant. It is believed that the growth mechanism of the Au/Ag bimetallic ultrathin nanowires includes the noble-metal-induced reduction, the oriented attachment and the wire–wire fusion.
