An innovative technique is proposed for the precise and scalable placement of 1D nanostructures in an affordable manner. This approach combines the dielectrophoresis phenomenon and capillary assembly to successfully align thousands of single nanowires at specific locations at the wafer. The nanowires are selectively trapped by taking advantage of the material--specific frequence dependence.
G. Larrieu and co‐workers demonstrate on page 1268 an innovative approach that combines the dielectrophoresis phenomenon and capillary assembly for the precise and scalable placement of thousands of single nanowires. The nanowires are selectively trapped by taking advantage of the material‐specific frequency dependence, which allows, for example, NW sorting, starting from a solution containing a mixture of several kinds of NWs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
