ABSTRACT:
A self-aligning nanowire includes a nanowire portion and an aligning member attached to the nanowire portion. The aligning member interacts with another aligning member on an adjacent self-aligning nanowire to align the nanowires together. A method of aligning nanowires includes providing a plurality of the self-aligning nanowires, suspending the plurality in a carrier solution, and depositing the suspended plurality on a substrate. An ink formulation includes the plurality of suspended self-aligning nanowires in the carrier solution. A method of producing the self-aligning nanowire includes providing and associating the nanowire portion and the aligning member such that the nanowire produced is self-aligning with another nanowire.
