N1  - One of the authors (H.J. Yao) would like to thank the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) for research scholarships as visiting scientist at Forschungszentrum Julich, Germany. The authors gratefully acknowledge the finance support from the West Light project of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, National Natural Science Foundation of China (no. 11005134, 10805062 and 10975164) and the Natural Science Foundation of Gansu Province (1007RJYA014). The authors also thank the Materials Research Department of GSI (Darmstadt, Germany) for the performing of ion irradiation experiments on polycarbonate membrane and Dr. Besmehn Astrid (Julich, Germany) for XPS analysis and helpful discussion.
AB  - Gold nanowire arrays with diameters ranging from 45 to 200 nm were obtained via electrochemical deposition within the ion-track templates. The morphology of gold nanowires was imaged by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The surface properties were investigated by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The SPR peaks were observed as the gold nanowire arrays embedded in the templates and their intensity decreased after the sample exposed to the air for a certain time due to the formation of chemisorbed oxygen on nanowire surface. The positive binding energy shifts in Au core level was found when the gold nanowire arrays embodied in template and the initial- and finial-state effects were introduced to explain this phenomenon.
