A carbon nanotube field emission device with overhanging gate fabricated by a double silicon-on-insulator process. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Method for manufacturing a carbon nanotube field emission device with overhanging gate

A fluid transport method and fluid transport device are disclosed. Nanoscale fibers disposed in a patterned configuration allow transport of a fluid in absence of an external power source. The device may include two or more fluid transport components having different fluid transport efficiencies. The components may be separated by additional fluid transport components, to control fluid flow.

Nanoscale wicking methods and devices

A vertical device geometry for a carbon-nanotube-based field effect transistor has one or multiple carbon nanotubes formed in a trench.

Edge-contacted vertical carbon nanotube transistor

High-current density field emission sources using arrays of nanofeatures bundles and methods of manufacturing such field emission sources are provided. Variable field emission performance is provided with the variance in the bundle diameter and the inter-bundle spacing, and optimal geometries for the lithographically patterned arrays were determined. Arrays of 1-&#x3bc;m and 2-&#x3bc;m diameter multi-walled carbon nanotube bundles spaced 5 &#x3bc;m apart (edge-to-edge spacing) were identified as the most optimum combination, routinely producing 1.5 to 1.8 A/cmat low electric fields of approximately 4 V/&#x3bc;m, rising to &#x3e;6 A/cmat 20 V/&#x3bc;m over a &#x2dc;100-&#x3bc;m-diameter area.

Carbon nanotube high-current-density field emitters

A method of forming a periodic array of nano-scale objects using a block copolymer, and nano-scale object arrays formed from the method are provided. The method for forming the arrays generally includes the steps of depositing a block copolymer of at least two blocks on a substrate to form an ordered meso-scale structured array of the polymer materials, forming catalytic metal dots based on the meso-scale structure, and growing nano-scale objects on the catalytic dots to form an ordered array of nano-scale objects.

Method of producing regular arrays of nano-scale objects using nano-structured block-copolymeric materials

Methods and devices for spectroscopic identification of molecules using nanoscale wires are disclosed. According to one of the methods, nanoscale wires are provided, electrons are injected into the nanoscale wire; and inelastic electron scattering is measured via excitation of low-lying vibrational energy levels of molecules bound to the nanoscale wire.

Nanowire electron scattering spectroscopy

A nanofeature particulate trap comprising a plurality of densely packed nanofeatures, such as nanotubes, and a particulate detector incorporating the nanofeature particulate trap are provided. A method of producing a nanotrap structure alone or integrated with a particulate detector is also provided.
