Title:
NANOSTRUCTURES FORMED OF BRANCHED NANOWHISKERS AND METHODS OF PRODUCING THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005054121
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of forming a nanostructure. A first one-dimensional nano-element is grown for a predetermined period of time. After completion of the predetermined period of time, a catalytic particle is provided on a periphery of the first one-dimensional nano-element. From a periphery of the first one-dimensional nano-element a second one-dimensional nano-element is grown, extending transversely to the first one-dimensional nano-element. The invention also relates to a nanostructure comprising a first one-dimensional nanoelement, a second one-dimensional nanoelement grown on and extending transversely from a periphery of the first one-dimensional nanoelement, and a third one-dimensional nanoelement grown on and extending transversely from a periphery of the second one-dimensional nanoelement.
