Photon induced formation of metal comprising elongated nanostructures
First Claim
1. A metal comprising elongated nanostructure having a shell and a core, and comprising a combination of a metal and a metal halide, wherein the core of the elongated nanostructure comprises the metal and wherein the shell of the elongated nanostructure comprises the metal halide and substantially completely surrounds the core, and wherein the elongated nanostructure is a free-standing nanostructure that is not entangled with or in contact with neighboring nanostructures.
