ABSTRACT:
Methods, apparatus and systems form structures from nanoparticles by:providing a source of nanoparticles, the particles being capable of being moved by application of a field, such as an electrical field, magnetic field and even electromagnetic radiation or fields such as light, UV, IR, radiowaves, radiation and the like;depositing the nanoparticles to a surface in a first distribution of the nanoparticles;applying a field to the nanoparticles on the surface that applies a force to the particles; andrearranging the nanoparticles on the surface by the force from the field to form a second distribution of nanoparticles on the surface. The second distribution of nanoparticles is more ordered or more patterned than the first distribution of nanoparticles as a result of the rearranging.
