Metal-filled nanostructures

摘要

A metal-filled nanostructure and fabrication methods thereof are discussed. A metal-filled nanostructure according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a metal filling and a nanostructure shell, and may provide superior conductivity and contact resistance over those inherent in the nanostructure shell. In a preferred embodiment, the metal filled nanostructure comprises a continuous metal nanowire inserted into a single-walled carbon nanotube using an electrowetting technique.
