Abstract :
We have prepared Bi wire arrays with diameters between 200 nm and 30 nm in a matrix of porous anodic alumina. The wire array conductivity down to 0.3 K has been measured as well as its magnetoresistance up to 8 T. Our measurements indicate that the wires are good conductors in the temperature range investigated.
