Abstract

The tip morphology in the nanoscale is discussed as a member of the one-dimensional nanostructure family. Different growth techniques used for the synthesis of the nanotips have been outlined and compared against each other including, etching, pyrolysis, physical, and chemical vapour deposition. Growth models for hollow and solid nanotips are compared and discussed in detail with a thrust on the 'cone-helix' model for the hollow tips and the 'platelet stacking' model for the solid tips. Application of the nanotips in field emission, scanning probe microscopy, sensing, anti-reflection, and nanoindentation is discussed.
