Methods, apparatus and systems form structures from nanoparticles by: providing a source of nanoparticles, the particles being capable of being moved by application of a field, such as an electrical field, magnetic field and even electromagnetic radiation or fields such as light, UV IR, radiowaves, radiation and the like; depositing the nanoparticles to a surface in a first distribution of the nanoparticles; applying a field to the nanoparticles on the surface that applies a force to the particles; and rearranging the nanoparticles on the surface by the force from the field to form a second distribution of nanoparticles on the surface. The second distribution of nanoparticles is more ordered or more patterned than the first distribution of nanoparticles as a result of the rearranging.
A method of forming structures from nanoparticles comprising:
A system for forming structures from nanoparticles comprising:
An article of intermediate manufacture comprising a first substrate having a first front surface having at least a first area comprising a distribution of nanoparticles on its surface, the distribution of nanoparticles being imposed by a field applied to the surface and particles and the distribution having a standard deviation of distances between particles of less than ±20% from an average distance between nanoparticles on the surface.
