Abstract

High-resolution lithographic tools are necessary to manipulate and tailor the properties of metals and semiconductors. Here, we present a novel technique that bridges templated synthesis and lithography to generate coaxial nanowires in a parallel fashion with structural control in multiple dimensions and with materials generality.

Portions of this chapter have been published in Nature Nanotechnology 10, 319 (2015).
