Description

An in situ template-based electrochemical method was used to fabricate single-crystal Sn nanowires, of 6 μm in length and 30-200 nm in diameter, in contact with two bulk film electrodes of Au, Sn, or Pb. Superconductivity in these Sn nanowires was found to depend strongly on the electrode materials
