TLDR
In this paper, an electric-field assisted assembly technique was used to position individual nanowires suspended in a dielectric medium between two electrodes defined lithographically on a SiO2 substrate.Abstract:
This letter describes an electric-field assisted assembly technique used to position individual nanowires suspended in a dielectric medium between two electrodes defined lithographically on a SiO2 substrate. During the assembly process, the forces that induce alignment are a result of nanowire polarization in the applied alternating electric field. This alignment approach has facilitated rapid electrical characterization of 350- and 70-nm-diameter Au nanowires, which had room-temperature resistivities of approximately 2.9 and 4.5×10−6 Ω cm.read more

Indium phosphide nanowires as building blocks for nanoscale electronic and optoelectronic devices
TL;DR: The assembly of functional nanoscale devices from indium phosphide nanowires, the electrical properties of which are controlled by selective doping are reported, and electric-field-directed assembly can be used to create highly integrated device arrays from nanowire building blocks.

Directed Assembly of One-Dimensional Nanostructures into Functional Networks
TL;DR: It is shown that nanowires can be assembled into parallel arrays with control of the average separation and, by combining fluidic alignment with surface-patterning techniques, that it is also possible to control periodicity.

Semiconductor nanowires and nanotubes
TL;DR: In this article, a review highlights the recent advances in the field, using work from this laboratory for illustration, and the understanding of general nanocrystal growth mechanisms serves as the foundation for the rational synthetic control of one-dimensional nanoscale building blocks, novel properties characterization and device fabrication based on nanowire building blocks.

TL;DR: Logic gates were fabricated from an array of configurable switches, each consisting of a monolayer of redox-active rotaxanes sandwiched between metal electrodes, which provided a significant enhancement over that expected for wired-logic gates.

The Motion and Precipitation of Suspensoids in Divergent Electric Fields
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the phenomena of dielectrophoresis and dielectro-precipitation can be observed under rather ideal conditions, though it is ordinarily often difficult to do so because of the presence of the more easily produced electrophoreis or ion-type migration of charged particles.

Orientation and purification of carbon nanotubes using ac electrophoresis
TL;DR: The degree of orientation of carbon nanotubes is higher when the frequency of applied electric field is higher and the length of the carbon particles is longer as mentioned in this paper, which indicates that carbon particles contained as impurites become harder to move with increasing frequency.
