Scanning tunneling microscopy of DNA-wrapped carbon nanotubes.
We employ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to reveal the structure of DNA-carbon nanotube complexes with unprecedented spatial resolution and compare our experimental results to molecular dynamics simulations. STM images show strands of DNA wrapping around (6,5) nanotubes at approximately 63 degrees angle with a coiling period of 3.3 nm, in agreement with the theoretical predictions. In addi...
متن کاملAtomic structure of carbon nanotubes from scanning tunneling microscopy
The atomic structure of a carbon nanotube can be described by its chiral angle and diameter and can be specified by a pair of lattice indices (n ,m). The electronic and mechanical properties are critically dependent on these indices. Scanning tunneling microscopy ~STM! is a useful tool to investigate carbon nanotubes since the atomic structure as well as the electronic properties of individual ...
متن کاملCarbon nanotube scanning tunneling microscopy tips for chemically selective imaging.
Carboxyl-terminated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were successfully immobilized from solution phases onto the apexes of gold tips for scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Gold STM tips were first modified with self-assembled monolayers of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid, and its carboxyl groups were used to anchor carboxylated SWNTs through Zn2+ ion-bridged coordination. These SWNT tips gave hi...
متن کاملScanning tunneling spectroscopy on crossed carbon nanotubes
Crossing nanotubes were investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy ~STM! and spectroscopy. From the analysis of the measured mechanical deformation of the nanotubes, the contact force between the nanotubes is estimated to be 1 nN. Spectroscopy measurements showed two effects on the electronic structure: ~i! band bending, which we attribute to a position-dependent interaction with the subs...
متن کاملCarbon Nanotube Detection by Scanning Electron Microscopy
This study describes an approach towards the detection of carbon nanotubes in scanning electron microscopic images. It is designed to work in a real-time environment for automated nanofabrication. Main difficulties are the high level of image noise and the occurrence of debris objects. A descriptor derived from the principle component analysis of the geometrical object distribution is found to ...
