Abstract
Efficient assembly of nanowires or nanotubes into functional nanodevices is one of the keys for practical application of the promising nanotechnology. Generally there are two ways for the assembly of nanowires or nanotubes: directed assembly during growth and post-growth assembly. The post-growth assembly technique is advantageous in some aspects comparatively for it puts little limitation on the nanowire or nanotube materials involved, and it can produce large nanowire arrays with better consistency. So this paper reviewed post-growth nanowire assembly techniques and discussed their advantages and shortcomings.
