Even with highly disordered commercial porous anodic aluminum oxide template and conventional potentiostatic electrodeposition length uniformity over 95 can be achieved when the deposition temperature is lowered down to C. Decreased diffusion coefficient and ion concentration gradient due to the lowered deposition temperature effectively reduces ion diffusion rate thereby favors uniform nanowire growth. Moreover by varying the deposition temperature we show that also the pore nucleation and the crystallinity can be controlled. Keywords Cu nanowire template-assisted electrodeposition length uniformity low-temperature electrodeposition nucleation crystallinity Introduction Length uniformity in template-assisted electrodeposited nanowires is of great importance in realizing the nanowires as building blocks for various technological applications that specifically involve electron flow through the nanowires such as thermoelectric 1 2 spintronics 3 4 photovoltaics 5 interconnects 6 7 and phasechange memory devices 8 . In feasibility aspect template-assisted nanowires have an extraordinary advantage over other nanowires that are grown by different methods such as vapor-liquid-solid method 9 and elec-troless-etched method 10 11 . In detail the template can be readily used as a supporting matrix without any further fabrication process. Supporting matrix which is essential in fabricating .
