METHOD OF PRODUCING NANOWIRES IN AMBIENT CONDITIONS AND NANOWIRES THUS PRODUCED

摘要

The invention relates to a method whereby it is possible to obtain nanowires by means of applying a laser radiation and simultaneously injecting a supersonic gas stream on the precursor material in atmospheric conditions and at room temperature. This method involves a considerable improvement compared to conventional methods because it can be carried out on commercial samples without any prior preparation, a very precise control of the process and environmental conditions not being necessary, which significantly decreases the process time and the economic cost thereof. The method object of the present invention also allows synthesizing nanowires in very reduced processing times.
