Note: Nanowires are just like ordinary electrical wires except that they are very small. Like ordinary wires, nanowires can be made from a variety of conductive and semiconductor materials such as copper, silver, gold, iron, silicon, zinc oxide and germanium. Nanowires can also be made from carbon nanotubes.

Nanowires are less than 100 nanometers in diameter and can be as small as 3 nanometers. Typically, nanowires are more than 1000 times larger in diameter. This huge difference in length-to-diameter ratio with respect to nanowires is often referred to as 1-dimensional materials. This leads to unique properties not seen in bulk materials,  the minute size of nanowires means that quantum mechanical effects are of great importance. "Quantum wires" use quantum mechanics to produce wires with a wide range of unique electrical properties. These properties include quantum tunnels, which have very high conduction to wires made of carbon nanotubes with electrons passing through the wire ballistically.

In the immersion method, nanowires have enough time to transfer from nanoparticle particles to cavities  ; The formation step of uniform nanoparticles is done slowly and finally uniform nanowires are formed. Structural study with FESEM  in the immersion method of single-stranded nanowires in all porosities and in a large area of ​​nanowire particles are formed. The simple answer to this question is that each particle is less than 100 nanometers. But like  a scale from 1 to 100 nanometers, the amplitude determines the size of a nanoparticle. In order to prevent the contact of cluster particles from atoms, less than 1 nm may be removed, but the movement of electrons in nanoparticles to particles is <1 nm. Because the particles are three-dimensional.

Conclusion :  

Nanowires are just like ordinary electrical wires except that they are very small. Like ordinary wires, nanowires can be made from a variety of conductive and semiconductor materials such as copper, silver, gold, iron, silicon, zinc oxide and germanium. Nanowires can also be made from carbon nanotubes.
