Abstract:
A two-layer nanotape that includes a nanoribbon substrate and an oxide that is epitaxially deposited on a flat surface of the nanoribbon substrate is described. A method for making the nanotape that includes providing plural substrates and placing the substrates in a quartz tube is also described. The oxide is deposited on the substrate using a pulsed laser ablation deposition process. The nanoribbons can be made from materials such as SnO2, ZnO, MgO, Al2O3, Si, GaN, or CdS. Also, the sintered oxide target can be made from materials such as TiO2, transition metal doped TiO2 (e.g., CO0.05Ti0.95O2), BaTiO3, ZnO, transition metal doped ZnO (e.g., Mn0.1Zn0.9O and Ni0.1Zn0.9O), LaMnO3, BaTiO3, PbTiO3, YBa2Cu3Oz, or SrCu2O2 and other p-type oxides. Additionally, temperature sensitive nanoribbon/metal bilayers and their method of fabrication by thermal evaporation are described. Metals such as Cu, Au, Ti, Al, Pt, Ni and others can be deposited on top of the nanoribbon surface. Such devices bend significantly as a function of temperature and are suitable as, for example, thermally activated nanoscale actuators.

Abstract:
A nanowire switching device and method. The device has a nanowire structure comprising an elongated member having a cross-sectional area ranging from about 1 nanometers but less than about 500 nanometers, but can also be at other dimensions, which vary or are substantially constant or any combination of these. The device also has a first terminal coupled to a first portion of the nanowire structure; and a second terminal coupled to a second portion of the nanowire structure. The second portion of the nanowire structure is disposed spatially from the first portion of the nanowire structure. An active surface structure is coupled to the nanowire structure. The active surface structure extends from the first portion to the second portion along the elongated member.
