We demonstrated the site-selective growth of freestanding single-crystalline Au NWs at a low temperature (approximately 573 K) by pretreating a silicon substrate with low-energy ion beams, followed by thermal evaporation of Au. Using this method, Au NWs with aspect ratios up to 1000 or more, that is, 50–200 nm in diameter and lengths ranging from several hundred nanometers to approximately 100 μm, were fabricated. Au NWs could only be grown at the boundary between the ion-irradiated and unirradiated regions on the Si substrates during the deposition of Au. Furthermore, patterning the Si substrate by masking it with a fine mesh during ion irradiation creates more boundaries between the irradiated and unirradiated regions, increasing the number of Au NWs. Transmission electron microscopy and selected-area electron diffraction revealed that the NWs were single crystals and grew along the [1 1 0] direction.
