| Summary: | In this work,copper/palladium (Cu/Pd) multilayer nanowires were successfully prepared by electrodeposition method using polycarbonate template. The fabrication of Pd/Cu multilayer nanowires was controlled by analyzing the current–time transient during electrodeposition using potentiostat. The morphological properties of the nanowires were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and result showed that almost each nanowire had the same length of ≈ 4 μm and the diameter of 90 nm .X-ray diffraction pattern showed that Pd and Cu grow in their face-centered-cubic (fcc) lattice structures.The chemical composition was determined by examination of the energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectra . |
