There has been increasing interest in intentional synthesis of nanowires and nanotubes based on a large variety of materials. A deeper understanding and a sufficient control of growth are in the center of current research interest. Strategies for position-controlled and nano-patterned growth of nanowire arrays will be demonstrated by selected examples based on ZnO nanowires as well as discussed in terms of larger scale realization and future prospects.[1] The physical properties of single ZnO nanowires will be presented on selected examples.

Recently, we demonstrated one-dimensional free-standing spinel nanotubes which were transformed from nanowires via the Kirkendall effect in solid-state reaction.[2] We expect that the nanoscale Kirkendall effect should provide a general fabrication route to hollow nanostructures, including high aspect ratio nanotubes.[3] Such ordered arrays of spinel nanotubes may possess similar application potentials as carbon nanotubes.
