  • Ordered nanotubes on a two-dimensional substrate consisting of different material properties
    Patent number: 11136666
    Abstract: A nanoscale conductor/semiconductor/insulator device includes a substrate with a lattice and a plurality of nanotubes in crystallographic alignment with the lattice at an interface between the plurality of nanotubes and the substrate. Another such device includes a substrate, meandering tracks in the substrate and a plurality of nanotubes adhering to cut-atomic-step edges of the meandering tracks. Methods of making the nanoscale conductor/semiconductor/insulator devices are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 30, 2019
    Date of Patent: October 5, 2021
    Assignee: University of Kentucky Research Foundation
    Inventors: Mohsen Nasseri, Armin Ansary, Mathias J. Boland, Douglas R. Strachan
