The last nanotechnology achievements and the variety of new phenomena following from the material dimension reduction have accelerated the study of nanoparticle properties and the methods of their production. This article reports synthesis of ZnO nanowires and nanowhiskers by the assistance of DC arc discharge. The arc is burned between a graphite cathode and a graphite anode filled with ZnO. The reactor operates in a pre-evacuated argon-filled chamber at a pressure of 3x104 Pa. No catalysts have been used. ZnO of different morphology (nanowires, whiskers and particle agglomerates) is obtained on a Si wafer or on a glass substrate and has been studied by SEM and EDS.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
