Patent number: 6762131Abstract: A method for forming atomic-scale structures on a surface of a substrate on a large-scale includes creating a predetermined amount of surface vacancies on the surface of the substrate by removing an amount of atoms on the surface of the material corresponding to the predetermined amount of the surface vacancies. Once the surface vacancies have been created, atoms of a desired structure material are deposited on the surface of the substrate to enable the surface vacancies and the atoms of the structure material to interact. The interaction causes the atoms of the structure material to form the atomic-scale structures.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2002Date of Patent: July 13, 2004Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the University of IllinoisInventors: Chong Wee Lim, Kenji Ohmori, Ivan Georgiev Petrov, Joseph E.
