Abstract

We electrochemically deposit conducting polymer to bridge two closely placed electrodes, and then form a polymer nanowire by stretching the polymer bridge with the electrodes. During stretching, the conductance increases initially as the polymer chains are aligned in parallel, and then decreases in a stepwise fashion, due to abrupt changes in the nanowire thickness. We study the current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of the nanowire as a function of its electrochemical potential in an analogous fashion to the control of the gate voltage in semiconductor devices. Depending on the potential, the I–V curves vary from ohmic to rectifying characteristics.
