AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides new nanostructures with selective, well-defined anchor points (conductive zones) that can be used for self-assembly in solution and onto substrates. These nanostructures have elongated shapes such as rods, wires, tubes, or in branched form. The nanostructures can be made of semiconductor materials, insulating materials, metallic materials, or mixtures thereof. The invention also provides a method for forming the conductive zones on the nanostructures. These nanostructures can serve as templates for the deposition of a conducting material and can be used for self-assembly in solution or onto substrates.

Problems solved by technology

Embodiment Construction

[0054] The method is exemplified hereinbelow with reference to selective growth of metal tips onto semiconductor nanorods and tetrapods.

[0055] In a method for selective growth of contacts made of gold, AuCl3 was dissolved in toluene by use of dodecyldimethylamonium bromide (DDAB) and dodecylamine, and the resulting solution was added to a toluene solution comprising of colloidal grown nanorods or tetrapods. The method is exemplified for the prototypical CdSe nanocrystal system that is highly developed synthetically and widely studied for its size and shape dependent properties.

[0056] CdSe rods and tetrapods of different dimensions (see below), were prepared by high temperature pyrolisys of suitable precursors, in a coordinating solvent containing a mixture of trioctylphosphineoxide (TOPO), and of phosphonic acids [9]. In a typical Au growth reaction, a gold solution was prepared containing 12 mg AuCl3 (0.04 mmol), 40 mg of DDAB (0.08 mmol) and 70 mg (0.37 mmol) of dodecylamine in ...
