A nanowire array with two types of bromoplumbate chains and high anisotropic conductance†
Abstract
Crystalline nanowire arrays would create great opportunity for novel electrical application. Herein, we report a metal halide-based crystalline nanowire array, which was the first example constructed from two types of bromoplumbate anion chains. The single crystal shows high anisotropic conductivity with semiconducting transport along the c axis and an insulating feature perpendicular to the c direction.
