Metallic nanowires are of great interest due to their unique electrical, optical, chemical and magnetic properties. Characterization and explanations of electronic properties of nanowires are extremely important due to their potential applications in the field of nanoelectronics and optoelectronics. In the present study, we synthesized the copper nanowires of different diameters (80nm, 100nm and 200nm) and exposed them with gamma rays of 100 KGy and 150 KGy doses. The I-V characteristics of different diameter of Cu nanowires before and after the irradiation were recorded.
