Abstract

In this article, the zinc oxide nanowires synthesis into the nanoporous anodic alumina template using the two-step anodization method. The physical properties of zinc oxide nanowires investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X- ray diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and versus of electrical resistance with temperature by designing devices. Results show that the zinc oxide nanowires have 66 nm in diameter and 1-6 µm in length, and according to the result of spectroscopies, hexagonal structures (wurtzite) with high purity. Also, Resistance characteristics also vary with substrate temperature and with increasing temperature , the current flowing through the zinc oxide nanowires also increases therefore decreasing resistance.
