Ringer Received 20 August 2009 Accepted 14 October 2009 Published online 13 November 2009 to the authors 2009 Abstract Two- and four-probe electrical measurements on individual conjugated polymer nanowires with different diameters ranging from 20 to 190 nm have been performed to study their conductivity and nanocontact resistance. The two-probe results reveal that all the measured polymer nanowires with different diameters are semiconducting. However the four-probe results show that the measured polymer nanowires with diameters of 190 95-100 35-40 and 20-25 nm are lying in the insulating critical metallic and insulting regimes of metal-insulator transition respectively. The 35-40 nm nanowire displays a metalinsulator transition at around 35 K. In addition it was found that the nanocontact resistance is in the magnitude of 104 X at room temperature which is comparable to the intrinsic resistance of the nanowires. These results demonstrate that four-probe electrical measurement is necessary to explore the intrinsic electronic transport properties of isolated nanowires especially in the case of metallic nanowires because the metallic nature of the measured Y.
