Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a nanostructure in-situ at at least one predetermined point on a supporting carrier, the method comprising: choosing a suitable material for a substrate to be comprised in the carrier, and creating said substrate, preparing a template on the substrate, wherein the template covers said predetermined point, and giving said template a proper shape according to the desired final shape of the nanostructure, causing a film of nanosource material with desired thickness, width and length to be formed on the template, and causing at least part of the film of nanosource material to restructure from a part of the template, thus forming the desired nanostructure at the predetermined point, said restructuring being in the form of a reassembling on the atomic scale of the nanosource material, resulting in qualitatively new properties relative to the properties of the nanosource material prior to the restructuring, said new properties being manifested in an altered, pre-defined response to external fields or forces.
