Abstract: Provided is a novel printing process for fabricating metallic, conductive and transparent ultra-thin nanowires and patterns including same on a substrate. The process includes two different controllable steps, each designed to achieving a useful and efficient pattern.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a heterostructure system, comprises epitaxially growing a crystalline layer of a first substance on a crystalline base layer by surface catalysis in a solution, wherein the growth is self-terminated once a monolayer of the substance is formed on the base layer.

Abstract: A magnetic field sensor system comprises an electrically conducting film of ferromagnetic nanoparticles printed directly on a supporting structure, and electrically conducting contacts coupled to the film for injecting an electric current into the film and measuring a voltage generated across said film responsive to said injected current in a direction that is generally perpendicular to the current direction in the plane of the film.

Abstract: The invention provides a novel conductive film and a multilayered conductive structure, comprising a plurality of metal nanowires arranged in clusters and having an average aspect ratio of least 100,000, optionally decorated by metal nanoparticles. It is also disclosed a process for preparation of a conductive film comprising metal nanowires by surfactant/template assisted method which involves the use of a precursor solution based on surfactant (such as CTAB), metal precursor (such as HAuCl4 and AgNO3) and reducing agent (such as metal borohydride or sodium ascorbate).

Abstract: A conductive nanowire film having a high aspect-ratio metal is described. The nanowire film is produced by inducing metal reduction in a concentrated surfactant solution containing metal precursor ions, a surfactant and a reducing agent. The metal nanostructures demonstrate utility in a great variety of applications.
