Graphical Abstract
Nanonetze: Aus einer Suspension von einwandigen Kohlenstoff-Nanoröhren (single-walled carbon nanotubes; SWNTs) wurden elektrisch leitende Gitter mit 8 bis 14 Knotenpunkten (siehe Bild) erhalten. Die entscheidenden Strukturparameter dieser „Miniaturschaltkreise“ wurden hauptsächlich durch chemisch gesteuerte Selbstorganisation, nicht so sehr durch lithographische Musterbildung, erreicht. Alle Arbeitsschritte wurden unter Normalbedingungen ausgeführt.

- 14 Besides carrying a net charge, the SWNT ropes have an unusually large and anisotropic polarizability, which results from their size and aspect ratio. In our spatially inhomogeneous electric field, they experience both an electrophoretic and a dielectrophoretic force, whether under DC or AC voltage (H. A. Pohl, Dielectrophoresis, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge , 1978). Under moderately large AC voltages, the net electrophoretic motion is essentially zero. However, an AC component induces better alignment in the field (hence, more uniform orientation and arrangement in deposition). At higher frequency, these effects should become more acute and lead to better organized structures.
