Abstract

A super conductive (2334 S cm⁻¹) single nanowire composed of PEDOT:BMIPF₆ in acetonitrile was released between two gold electrodes and the characteristics of the nanowire were measured by scanning ion conductance microscopy and Raman spectroscopy and compared with those grown with PSSA as dopant precursor.
