Abstract

Silver iodide nanowires have been fabricated using non-galvanic template synthesis technique. The effect of annealing on the laser induced photo luminescent behavior of silver iodide nanowires has been studied. It is established that due to annealing, emission wavelength of silver iodide nanowires change. In comparison with un-annealed nanowires, the emission wavelength is found to decrease with the increase in annealing temperature and annealing time as well. These studies are very important as silver iodide is a very useful candidate for photography applications.
