Electron Beam Irradiation Induced Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes Fusion inside SEM
This paper reported a method of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) fusion inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM). A CNT was picked up by nanorobotics manipulator system which was constructed in SEM with 21 DOFs and 1 nm resolution. The CNT was picked up and placed on two manipulators. The tensile force was 140 nN when the CNT was pulled into two parts. Then, two parts of the CNT were co...
متن کاملMultiwalled Carbon Nanotubes as Single Electron Transistors
Single electron transistors (SET) are fabricated from multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) by manipulation with an atomic force microscope. The devices consist of either a single MWNT with Au contacts at the ends or of two crossing tubes. In the latter device, the lower nanotube acted as the central island of a single electron transistor while the upper one functioned as a gate electrode. Coulom...
متن کاملReinforcing Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes by Electron Beam Irradiation
To prepare the samples for Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) imaging and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) measurements, as-grown carbon nanotubes were dispersed in isopropanol and sonicated using HD2200 homogenizer with a power of 20W for 5 minutes. To characterize the nanotubes by HRTEM, a droplet of the suspension was put on a Cu TEM grid with a lacey C film. Alternatively, we deposited a d...
متن کاملLithiation-induced embrittlement of multiwalled carbon nanotubes.
Lithiation of individual multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was conducted in situ inside a transmission electron microscope. Upon lithiation, the intertube spacing increased from 3.4 to 3.6 Å, corresponding to about 5.9% radial and circumferential expansions and ∼50 GPa tensile hoop stress on the outermost tube wall. The straight tube walls became distorted after lithiation. In situ compress...
متن کاملMeasurements of near-ultimate strength for multiwalled carbon nanotubes and irradiation-induced crosslinking improvements.
The excellent mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes are being exploited in a growing number of applications from ballistic armour to nanoelectronics. However, measurements of these properties have not achieved the values predicted by theory due to a combination of artifacts introduced during sample preparation and inadequate measurements. Here we report multiwalled carbon nanotubes with a m...
