Abstract:
The invention is directed to a method of forming carbon nanomaterials or semiconductor nanomaterials. The method comprises providing a substrate and attaching a molecular precursor to the substrate. The molecular precursor includes a surface binding group for attachment to the substrate and a binding group for attachment of metal-containing species. The metal-containing species is selected from a metal cation, metal compound, or metal or metal-oxide nanoparticle to form a metallized molecular precursor. The metallized molecular precursor is then subjected to a heat treatment to provide a catalytic site from which the carbon nanomaterials or semiconductor nanomaterials form. The heating of the metallized molecular precursor is conducted under conditions suitable for chemical vapor deposition of the carbon nanomaterials or semiconductor nanomaterials.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a bonding surface, a semiconducting nanostructure including one of a nanowire and a nanocrystal, which is formed on the bonding surface, and a source electrode and a drain electrode which are formed on the nanostructure such that the nanostructure is electrically connected to the source and drain electrodes.
Abstract:
A device comprising a doped semiconductor nano-component and a method of forming the device are disclosed. The nano-component is one of a nanotube, nanowire or a nanocrystal film, which may be doped by exposure to an organic amine-containing dopant. Illustrative examples are given for field effect transistors with channels comprising a lead selenide nanowire or nanocrystal film and methods of forming these devices.
Abstract:
Separation of carbon nanotubes or fullerenes according to diameter through non-covalent pi-pi interaction with molecular clips is provided. Molecular clips are prepared by Diels-Alder reaction of polyacenes with a variety of dienophiles. The pi-pi complexes of carbon nanotubes with molecular clips are also used for selective placement of carbon nanotubes and fullerenes on substrates.
