Hybrid integrated nanotube and nanostructure substrate systems and methods

摘要

Systems and methods for providing a hybrid integrated nanostructure and nanotube substrate system are disclosed. The system includes a substrate having a plurality of nanostructures formed thereon. Interconnected to the substrate, directly or through nanostructures, are nanotubes. The nanostructures can extend for a greater distance from the surface of the substrate than the nanotubes, providing a robust structure. In addition, the structure can be highly emissive and absorptive hybrid surface.

1. A structure, comprising:
a substrate; a plurality of nanostructures, wherein the nanostructures are interconnected to and extend from a first surface of the substrate; and first and second pluralities of nanotubes, wherein the nanostructures have a longest dimension that is greater than a longest dimension of the nanotubes, wherein the nanotubes included in the first plurality of nanotubes have a first end that is in contact with a nanostructure included in the plurality of nanostructures, wherein at least some of the nanotubes included in the first plurality of nanotubes that have a first end in contact with a nanostructure included in the plurality of nanostructures extend from the nanostructure and have a second end that is not in contact with the nanostructure or with any other nanotube, wherein the nanotubes included in the second plurality of nanotubes have a first end that is in contact with the first surface of the substrate, and wherein at least some of the nanotubes included in the second plurality of nanotubes have a second end that is not in contact with the substrate, a nanotube, or with any other nanotube.
