B82Y

SPECIFIC USES OR APPLICATIONS OF NANOSTRUCTURES; MEASUREMENT OR ANALYSIS OF NANOSTRUCTURES; MANUFACTURE— OR TREATMENT OF NANOSTRUCTURES[2011.01]

Note(s) This subclass covers applications and aspects of nanostructures which are produced by any method, and is not restricted to those that are formed by manipulation of individual atoms or molecules.[2011.01]Attention is drawn to the Note following the title of class B82, which defines the meaning of the terms "nanosize", "nanoscale" and "nanostructure" in this subclass.This subclass is intended to enable a comprehensive search of subject matter related to nanostructures by combination of classification symbols of this subclass with classification symbols from other subclasses. Therefore, this subclass covers aspects of nanostructures that might also be entirely or partially covered elsewhere in the IPC.This subclass is for obligatory supplementary classification of subject matter already classified as such in other classification places, e.g.: B82B Nanostructures formed by individual manipulation of atoms, molecules, or limited collections of atoms or molecules as discrete units; manufacture or treatment thereof A61K 9/51 Nanocapsules for medicinal preparations B05D 1/20 Langmuir-Blodgett films C01B 32/15 Carbon nanostructures, e.g. bucky-balls, nanotubes, nanocoils, nanodoughnuts or nanoonions G01Q Scanning probe techniques G02F 1/017 Optical quantum wells or boxes H01F 10/32 Nanostructured thin magnetic films H01F 41/30 Molecular beam epitaxy [MBE] H01L 29/775 Quantum wire FETs The classification symbols of this subclass are not listed first when assigned to patent documents.
