Abstract
PbSe nanowires were prepared using the template method. Polycarbonate ion track membranes with pore sizes ranging
between 50 nm and 1.5 μm were used as templates. The deposition of PbSe in the pores of the template was performed
electrochemically. The influence of the deposition potential and membrane porosity on the morphology and composition of
the prepared nanowires was studied. The composition of the wires has been determined by EDX measurements for
different potentials. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the morphology of the deposited nanowires. X ray diffraction
has been used for structural measurements.
