Photon induced formation of metal comprising elongated nanostructures

摘要

The preferred embodiments provide a method for forming at least one metal comprising elongated nanostructure on a substrate. The method comprises exposing a metal halide compound surface to a photon comprising ambient to initiate formation of the at least one metal comprising elongated nanostructure. The preferred embodiments also provide metal comprising elongated nanostructures obtained by the method according to preferred embodiments.
