NANO-BASED DEVICES FOR USE IN A WELLBORE

摘要

According to some embodiments an apparatus is provided that includes a component for use in a wellbore, and a nano-based device for activating the component. The nano-based device may be a nano-diode coupled to the component. The nano-diode may include an electrode and nano-emitters formed on the electrode. The nano-emitters may emit electrons. The apparatus may further include a nano-switch electrically coupled to the nano-diode.
