Abstract:
1. An apparatus for modifying a physical property of a nanostructure using a focused electron beam, the apparatus comprising: the nanostructure; a focused electron beam- irradiating unit that serves to irradiate a nanoscale electron beam so as to be focused on the nanostructure; and a focused electron beam-controlling unit that serves to control an irradiation position of the nanoscale electron beam so as to modify a physical property of a portion of the nanostructure, wherein the nanostructure is a nanowire, a nanorod, or nanotube, and the focused electron beam-controlling unit serves to control the irradiation position so that a portion irradiated with the electron beam and a portion not irradiated with the electron beam are formed alternately along the nanowire, a nanorod, or nanotube; or wherein the nanostructure is an inorganic nanolayer, and the focused electron beam-controlling unit serves to control the irradiation position so that the inorganic nanolayer is irradiated with the electron beam to form a two-dimensional pattern.
