Abstract:
1. A method for assembling nanoelements, the method comprising the steps of: (a) providing a patterned substrate comprising a base layer of insulating material, a metal conductive layer deposited onto the base layer, an insulating layer deposited onto the conductive layer, and a patterned layer deposited onto the insulating layer, wherein the patterned layer is interrupted according to a pattern that defines one or more voids in the patterned layer, wherein the patterned layer forms walls of the voids and the insulating layer forms a bottom of the voids; (b) submerging at least a portion of the substrate in a liquid suspension of nanoelements, the liquid suspension disposed within a container and having a surface interfacing with a gaseous medium; and (c) pulling the substrate from the liquid suspension through the surface thereof while applying an electrical potential between the conductive layer of the substrate and a counter electrode in the suspension; whereby nanoelements from the suspension are assembled in the voids of the patterned substrate.
