We report on the synthesis of pure chromium oxide(Cr2O3) nanowires by utilizing a modified sol-geltemplate technique.  We introduce the solinto the pores of a commercially available polycarbonate template through theapplication of pressure.  Following asintering step, the isolated product could be attributed to pure, crystallineCr2O3, which maintains the morphology of the pores of thepolycarbonate template from whence these were derived.  We have investigated the morphology of ournanowires using FE-SEM and HRTEM. Further investigations of the magnetic, electronic and opticalproperties of this material are also presented.
