Abstract

We demonstrate the fabrication of carbon nanoribbons with a width of 40 nm based on fixation and pyrolysis of an organic template, lipid nanotubes. To our best knowledge, this is the smallest feature size achieved by pyrolysis of surface-patterned organic templates. Such a pyrolytic carbon nanostructure can be used for electronics and sensing applications in future.
