摘要
Nanoscale structures exhibit excellent physical,chemical,catalytical and mechanical properties,mainly due to their very high surface contributions at very small length scales in nanoscopic dimensions.Nanoscale structures from different materials have been successfully grown using various methods and their structure-property relationships have also been understood up to some extent using state-of-the-techniques.Despite of the huge research effort,the versatile use of nanostructures in day-to-day technologies is limited.The nanoscale structures involve complex handling and integration processes with respect to their utilizations in real applications.Appropriate surface accessibility,wide and unique utilization,and cost-effectiveness are the main challenges to this front.
