Here, a new method is demonstrated that uses sideways pulsed laser deposition to deliberately nanowires into a desired shape after growth and fabricate are shaped composite nanowire arrays of a wide range of nanomaterials. The starting nanowires can be ZnO, but the materials to be deposited can be metallic semiconductor, or ceramic depending on the application. This method provides a general approach for rational fabrication of a wide range of side be sire or "core-shell" nanowire arrays with controllable degree of bending and internal strain. Considering the ZnO is a piezoelectric and semiconductive materials, its electric properties change when deformed. Thus technique has potential applications in tunable electronics, optoelectronics, and piezotronics.
