US Patent:

6720240, Apr 13, 2004

Filed:

Mar 29, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/820413

Inventors:

James L. Gole - Atlanta GA
John D. Stout - Atlanta GA
Mark G. White - Woodstock GA

Assignee:

Georgia Tech Research Corporation - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

H01L 2120

US Classification:

438487, 438618, 438623, 438931, 438940, 438962

Abstract:

A nanowire, nanosphere, metallized nanosphere, and methods for their fabrication are outlined. The method of fabricating nanowires includes fabricating the nanowire under thermal and non-catalytic conditions. The nanowires can at least be fabricated from metals, metal oxides, metalloids, and metalloid oxides. In addition, the method of fabricating nanospheres includes fabricating nanospheres that are substantially monodisperse. Further, the nanospheres are fabricated under thermal and non-catalytic conditions. Like the nanowires, the nanospheres can at least be fabricated from metals, metal oxides, metalloids, and metalloid oxides. In addition, the nanospheres can be metallized to form metallized nanospheres that are capable as acting as a catalyst.
