title: Preparation of free-standing nanowire arrays on conductive substrates.
abstract: By combining supercritical drying technique with AAO template-assisted electrodeposition, noncollapsed, vertically aligned, and free-standing nanowire arrays on a conductive Au film have been fabricated. We also demonstrate that these free-standing nanowire arrays can be feasibly used for fabricating nanowire-based electrically driven devices.
