  • SHAPE MANIPULATION OF NANOSTRUCTURES
    Publication number: 20110121496
    Abstract: A method for reshaping a nanostructure. The method includes applying a vector force to the nanostructure to obtain a desired shape and passing current through the nanostructure thereby reshaping the nanostructure to a reshaped geometry different from the initial shape. The nanostructure may additionally be cleaned.
    Type: Application

  • Shape manipulation of nanostructures
    Publication number: 20070138705
    Abstract: A method for reshaping a nanostructure. The method includes: providing a nanostructure having an initial shape; applying energy from a non-chemical energy source to the nanostructure; and thereby reshaping the nanostructure to a reshaped geometry different from the initial shape. The nanostructure may additionally be optionally cleaned with the application of energy from the non-chemical energy source.
