Abstract

This paper reviews the achievement of contacted electronic nanowire-based devices which are self-assembled from atomic clusters. The focus is on the assembly of nanowires but many aspects of controlled cluster assembly are under investigation. In all cases, simple cluster deposition and standard nanofabrication techniques are used. The self-assembly of nanowires between contacts, avoiding the more usual slow manipulation of wires into position, means that these devices show a great deal of promise for commercial applications.
