ABSTRACT:
A method of producing a nanobasket and the applications or uses thereof. The method includes the steps of providing a substrate with at least one (1) pore having diameters of about one (1) nanometer to about ten (10) micrometers. Material is deposited by sputter-coating techniques along continuous edges of the pores to form a capped or partially capped nanotube or microtube structure, termed a nanobasket. Either a single material may be used to form nanobaskets over the pores or, alternately, a layered structure may be created wherein an initial material is deposited followed by one or more other materials to form nanobaskets over the pores.
