Abstract
Novel arrays of nanowires made of semi-metallic Bismuth (Bi) is disclosed made by unique electrodeposition techniques. Because of the unusual electronic properties of the semi-metallic Bi and the nanowire geometry, strong finite size effects in transport properties are achieved. In addition, very large positive magnetoresistance, 300% at low temperatures and 70% at room temperature, with quasilinear field dependence have been attained.
