Abstract

Nanoenergetic materials (nEMs) have improved performances compared to their bulk counterpart or microcounterpart. The authors propose an approach to synthesize an AlCuO based nEM that has several advantages over previous investigations such as enhanced contact, reduced impurities and Al oxidation, tailored dimensions, and easier integration into microsystem. CuO nanowires are synthesized by thermally annealing Cu film deposited onto silicon. Nano-Al is integrated with the nanowires to realize an AlCuO based nEM. The synthesized nEM is characterized by scanning electron microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.
