In situ synthesis of carbon nanotubes on heated scanning probes using dip pen techniques.
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) were synthesized on heated scanning probes and under ambient conditions without requiring Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) apparatus or process gases. In this study, dip pen nanolithography (DPN) techniques were utilized for deposition of catalyst precursors on the scanning probe tips in the form of aqueous solution of metal salts--prior to the synthesis of the CNT. A laye...
متن کاملNanopatterning of catalyst by Dip Pen nanolithography (DPN) for synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNT).
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) were synthesized on nanopatterned catalysts. The catalyst nanoparticles were obtained using dip pen nanolithographytechnique. Dip pen nanolithography technique was used to deposit NiCl(2) nanopatterns with sub-200 nm feature sizes on a silicon substrate. The deposited features were verified by using lateral force microscopy. The substrate was then placed in a plasma-enhan...
متن کاملScanning thermal microscopy of carbon nanotubes using batch-fabricated probes
We have designed and batch-fabricated thin-film thermocouple cantilever probes for scanning thermal microscopy ~SThM!. Here, we report the use of these probes for imaging the phonon temperature distribution of electrically heated carbon-nanotube ~CN! circuits. The SThM images reveal possible heat dissipation mechanisms in CN circuits. The experiments also demonstrate that heat flow through the ...
متن کاملMicromachined Arrayed Dip Pen Nanolithography Probes
We report the development of micromachined passive and active probe arrays for parallel dip pen nanolithography (DPN). DPN is a soft lithography method that allows direct, mask-less deposition of chemicals onto substrates with sub 100-nm resolution. An active DPN probe with thermal bimetallic actuation has been developed and tested. Lithographic results and an analytical tool for optimizing act...
متن کاملMagnetic force microscopy using fabricated cobalt-coated carbon nanotubes probes
Magnetic force microscope ( MFM ) is a powerful technique for mapping the magnetic force gradient above the sample surface. Herein, single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) were used to fabricate MFM probe by dielectrophoresis method which is a reproducible and cost-effective technique. The effect of induced voltage on the deposition manner of carbon nanotubes (CNT) on the atomic force microscope (...
