Nanowire networks of trigonal selenium (see Figure) have been prepared over a large area through a spontaneous organization process. This has been realized via the vapor deposition of selenium and subsequent crystallization. The network of selenium nanowires is expected to find applications in nanoscale circuits as well as nanoscale electronic and photon devices.
