A method is disclosed. The method includes forming a mixture including nanorods with a first material having first ions, coordinating molecules, and second ions in a solvent, and forming composite nanorods in the solvent. Each composite nanorod has a linear body with a first region having the first material and a second region having a second material, where the second material has the second ions.
A nanorod is disclosed. It includes a linear body including three or less alternating regions including a first region and a second region, wherein the first region comprises a first material comprising a first ionic material and the second region comprises a second material comprising a second ionic material.

Abstract:
A method of aligning microwires includes modifying the microwires so they are more responsive to a magnetic field. The method also includes using a magnetic field so as to magnetically align the microwires. The method can further include capturing the microwires in a solid support structure that retains the longitudinal alignment of the microwires when the magnetic field is not applied to the microwires.
