Abstract

Abstract Highly ordered anodic alumina template was produced by hard anodization. Barrier layer thickness was then reduced by a thinning process, and in the following Zn nanowires, it was grown in pores by periodic (AC) and pulsed electrochemical deposition. The samples were placed in a furnace for oxidation and for the possible preparation of electrical resistors. By measuring the electrical resistance of nanowire arrays, we did the calculations to find the electrical resistivity of each ZnO nanowire.
