Abstract

A process of fabricating a nanostructure is disclosed. The process is effected by growing the nanostructure in situ within a trench formed in a substrate and having therein a metal catalyst selected for catalyzing the nanostructure growth, under the conditions in which the growth is guided by the trench. Also disclosed are nanostructure systems comprising a nanostructure, devices containing such systems and uses thereof.
