摘要

One-dimensional (1D) nanomaterials have generated considerable interest amongst researchers because of their potential as fundamental building block in future nano- and micro-electronic devices. In this article, we present a review of a focused laser beam system as a versatile tool for the manipulation, structural transformation, micropatterning and chemical modification of 1D nanomaterials. This tool was found to be effective in patterning and modifying various physical and chemical properties of the pristine 1D nanomaterials. It also aids in the fabrication process of heterostructures and 1D nanomaterial based devices. Finally, we present the implementation of the focused laser beam setup as a valuable tool in the study of the origins and photoresponse mechanism of the 1D nanomaterial devices.
