Nanowires and NanoRings from Microtomes.
E N D
Nanowires and NanoRings from Microtomes Gold nanostructures have been fabricated using a combination of thin film deposition and a technique based on sectioning with a microtome. The dimensions of the resulting nanostructures are controlled by the thickness of the metal film and the thickness of the epoxy sections. The shape of the nanostructure is defined by the geometry of the template. We have successfully fabricated the nanowires and nanorings using this approach.
