Abstract

Highly aligned metal nanowire arrays with feature sizes approaching 10 nm are fabricated. This is made possible by the self-assembly of block copolymers (BCPs) on graphene-wrinkle arrays. Thickness-modulated BCP films confined on the wrinkled reduced graphene oxide (rGO) surface promote the strict alignment of the self-assembled BCP lamellae in the direction of the film thickness gradient.
