We report a novel solid state method to prepare samarium hexaboride (SmB6) nanowires at low temperatures of 220-240 degrees C. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show that the SmB6 nanowires have diameters from 50 to 120 nm and lengths from 1 to 8 mu m. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images reveal that the SmB6 nanowires are single crystalline with a preferred [001] growth direction. Electronic transport shows that a SmB6 nanowire has a high saturation temperature of 6 K and an enhanced surface conduction.
