Abstract
A method of forming a nanowire structure is disclosed. The method comprises applying on a surface of carrier liquid a layer of a liquid composition which comprises a surfactant and a plurality of nanostructures each having a core and a shell, and heating at least one of the carrier liquid and the liquid composition to a temperature selected such that the nanostructures are segregated from the surfactant and assemble into a nanowire structure on the surface.
Claims20
A nanowire structure, comprising a pattern of linear sub-structures interconnected thereamongst to form an elongated solid structure, each linear sub-structure being formed of a plurality of nanoparticles;
- wherein an average diameter of said sub-structures is less than 50 nanometers and an average diameter of said elongated solid structure is at least five times said average diameter of said sub-structures but less than 1 micrometer.
