A novel morphology of zinc oxide (ZnO) consisting of resistor-shaped nanowires connected “in-series” has been synthesized by a vapor phase transport method in the presence of water and copper. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the diameter of nanowires changes abruptly from ~200 to ~20 nm and...
