One-dimensional metallic nanostructures are expected to have broad applications due to their unique physical properties arising from their distinctive shapes and small diameters. Ag nanowires have attracted attention due to Ag's high electrical and thermal conductivity, and their application as nanowiring materials has been reported. This report demonstrates, through first-principles calculations and AFM observations, that optimizing the pH of the Ag+ solution enables the controlling Ag adsorption on Si(111) step edges, thereby facilitating the formation of Ag nanowires.
