Abstract
A method for forming an electronic switching device on a substrate, wherein the method comprises depositing the active semiconducting layer of the electronic switching device onto the substrate from a liquid dispersion of ligand-modified colloidal nanorods, and subsequently immersing the substrate into a growth solution to increase the diameter and/or length of the nanorods on the substrate, and wherein the as-deposited nanorods are aligned such that their long-axis is aligned preferentially in the plane of current flow in the electronic switching device.
