ABSTRACTThe pressure filling of anodic alumina templates with molten bismuth has been used to synthesize single crystalline bismuth nanowires with diameters ranging from 7 to 200nm and lengths of 50μm. The nanowires are separated by dissolving the template, and electrodes are affixed to single Bi nanowires on Si substrates. A focused ion beam (FIB) technique is used first to sputter off the oxide from the nanowires with a Ga ion beam and then to deposit Pt without breaking vacuum. The resistivity of a 200nm diameter Bi nanowire is found to be only slightly greater than the bulk value, while preliminary measurements indicate that the resistivity of a 100nm diameter nanowire is significantly larger than bulk. The temperature dependence of the resistivity of a 100nm nanowire is modeled by considering the temperature dependent band parameters and the quantized band structure of the nanowires. This theoretical model is consistent with the experimental results.

c-axis micro-bridges of La 2-x Sr x CuO 4 ( LSCO ) single crystals were fabricated by the focused-ion-beam (FIB) etching method. Small rectangular LSCO pieces were fabricated by cutting and grinding single crystals of underdoped LSCO of x=0.09. The size of LSCO single crystals between electrodes was cut to 20×40μm2 in ab-plane by using the FIB etching method. Superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) like-branch structures on I-V curves of the LSCO stacks were observed for the first time. The branch structures exhibited voltage jumps of several tens mV in the range of from 1.7 K to 5 K with temperature dependence. When the temperature is changed from 5 K to 1.7 K , the critical current and the next branch split into a few of small voltage jumps with the intervals of several mV in the range of from 0.1 mV and 2.0 mV .

ABSTRACTWe developed a method for making 4-point contacts to Bi nanowires with a thick oxide coat using a combination of lithographic and focused ion beam (FIB) techniques. The resistivity of Bi nanowires with diameters in the range 70-200nm is found to increase with decreasing wire diameter. In contrast to bulk Bi, the temperature dependence of the resistivity is found to decrease monotonically with increasing temperature. The results are explained on the basis of increased scattering in the nanowire and the known temperature dependence of the electronic properties of bulk Bi. A large magneto-resistance was also measured, indicating a high crystalline quality of the nanowires. A large spread in the measured values of the resistivity indicates significant systematic error in the measurement technique. Possible sources for error are discussed.
