Abstract

A method for producing an array or bed of metallic nanotubes includes formation of nanowires made from sacrificial material on a growth support, deposition of a metal layer on the nanowires so as to form metallic nanotubes concentric with the nanowires, deposition of a polymer binding layer between the nanowires, elimination of the support, the binding layer supporting the metallic nanotubes, and etching of the sacrificial material.
