Abstract

Synthesis of copper-telluride nanowires has been carried out using template-assisted electrodeposition technique. The polycarbonate template is supported on a copper substrate. The synthesized nanowires were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The SEM image has confirmed the satisfactory deposition of the CuTe nanowires having 100 nm diameters as expected. The investigations for the optical properties of the nanowires were carried out using He-Ne laser. The analysis of the images so obtained by a high resolution digital camera at different orientations with respect to the incident light has shown that CuTe nanowires exhibit a distinct intensity patterns as compared to the patterns obtained with the available copper thin film depositions.
