Netherlands report about formation of Pt nanowires on Ge (001). Pt
atoms adsorbed onto Ge(001) surface form extremely well-ordered
nanowire arrays by self-organization after high-temperature annealing.
Using scanning tunneling spectroscopy and microscopy, authors show
that they are metallic and defect free. Nanowires are only .4 nm
thick with a spacing of 1.6 nm in between, and have aspect ratios up
to 1000.....

The amazing thing is that these nanowires are self-organized. You just
deposit Pt and anneal it to 1000 C.
