Synthesis and mechanism study of Au nanowires and their derivatives

This thesis summarizes my postgraduate research on the mechanism studies of the novel nanowire and nanowire related structures, rational design and synthesis based on the mechanism understanding, and structural transformation at the nanoscale. The research was carried out mostly based on the ultrath...
