Seminar - “Multifunctional Materials for Electronics and Photonics”, Federico Rosei, UNESCO Chair in Materials and Technologies for Energy Conversion, Saving and Storage, Centre for Energy, Materials and Telecommunications, INRS, Varennes (QC), Canada

ABSTRACT: The bottom–up approach is considered a potential alternative for low cost manufacturing of nanostructured materials [1]. It is based on the concept of self–assembly of nanostructures on a substrate, and is emerging as an alternative paradigm for traditional top down fabrication used in the semiconductor industry. We demonstrate various strategies to control nanostructure assembly (both organic and inorganic) at the nanoscale.
