 note = {Selective carbon self-wiring is attractive for the miniaturization of photonic and electrical circuits. In this study, we report that a micro carbon wire grows in the direction opposite to the electric field selectively from a graphite rod in water between parallel electrodes under a DC electric field. Surprisingly, this self-assembled method does not require any preparation for the suspension of carbon materials and it can control the growing position and direction at the same time. Furthermore, we find that the wiring growth rate is approximately proportional to the square of the applied electric field, whereas the wiring phenomenon is not observed under an AC electric field. In addition, the wire grows not from a carbonaceous material but from a graphitic material. Based on these results, we propose that our self-wiring phenomenon occurs owing to the interlayer coupling through the positive (metal) ions in the electric double layer at the growth point, resulting from an induced charge electro-kinetic phenomenon and chemical reactions. We believe that our findings contribute greatly to a new class of microwires., Article, JOURNAL OF THE PHYSICAL SOCIETY OF JAPAN.89(2):024801(2020)},
