This article is published with open access at Abstract The initial growth stage of the single-crystalline Sb and Co nanowires with preferential orientation was studied which were synthesized in porous anodic alumina membranes by the pulsed electrodeposition technique. It was revealed that the initial growth of the nanowires is a three-dimensional nucleation process and then gradually transforms to two-dimensional growth via progressive nucleation mechanism which resulting in a structure transition from polycrystalline to single crystalline. The competition among the nuclei inside the nanoscaled-con-fined channel and the growth kinetics is responsible for the structure transition of the initial grown nanowires.

Huang Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering National University of Singapore Singapore Singapore Introduction Single-crystalline nanowires are essential for the development of the functional nanodevices 1 and many approaches have been reported so far to synthesize nanowires including chemical vapor deposition hydrothermal synthesis membrane-based fabrication and so on 2-6 . Among these methods the electrodeposition combined with anodic alumina .
