Control of the spatial distribution and sorting of micro-or nano-meter or molecular scale objects on patterned surfaces

A method of depositing and sorting micro-scale, nano-scale and molecular-scale objects onto a surface. In particular, the methods can be used to produce arrays of micro- and nanoscale objects on a surface by use of fluidic alignment with surface patterning techniques. In a preferred embodiment of th...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method of depositing and sorting micro-scale, nano-scale and molecular-scale objects onto a surface. In particular, the methods can be used to produce arrays of micro- and nanoscale objects on a surface by use of fluidic alignment with surface patterning techniques. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the objects are sorted and/or spatially distributed and arrayed into micro- or nanometer scale geometries with periodicity on a larger area by evaporation (or other means of selective removal of solvent) of liquid containing molecular scale solutes, nanowires, metallic particles, polymeric particles, inorganic particles or composite particles formed from such materials or preferably, such particles may be sorted and deposited from suspensions by continuously creating and evaporating films of the suspension on patterned substrates.
