Nanowire Construction Zone

Caption

This scanning electron microscope image shows a collection of cesium lead bromide (CsPgbBr3) nanowires and nanoplates grown from a chemical-dipping process. To produce these structures, researchers dipped a thin lead-containing film into a methanol solution containing cesium, bromine and chlorine heated to about 122 degrees. The white scale bar at the lower right represents 10 microns. The image at the bottom left shows the well-formed rectangular end of a nanowire--the white scale bar associated with it represents 500 nanometers in length.
