Abstract :
In summary, we reported on nanowire device platforms that are fabricated by aligning segmented (Au-Ag-Au) nanowires across microelectrode arrays under AC-electric-field and controllably forming nanogaps via selectively removing the middle (Ag) segment. This platform holds great promise to capture and probe nanoparticles.
