The Smallest Metallic Nanorods Using Physical Vapor Deposition

Abstract

We first present a theory of the smallest diameter and then use the theory to guide the experimental realization of Cu nanorods of ~20 nm in diameter and Au nanorods of ~10 nm in diameter, the smallest well-separated metallic nanorods ever reported using PVD.
