Mechanical and electronic characterization of individual single-walled carbon nanotubes by scanning probe microscopy — •Martin Bohrisch, Florian Szillat, Philipp Zeigermann, Hans Kleemann, and Bernd Schröter — Universität Jena, Institut für Festkörperphysik, Max-Wien-Platz 1, 07743 Jena, Deutschland
The selective growth of carbon nanotubes with particular structural and electronic properties is a prerequisite to utilize them in electronic and sensor devices. Single-walled carbon nanotubes were grown by catalyst-assisted chemical vapor deposition on insulating substrates. A horizontal alignment in predefined directions has been achieved by a growth on single-crystalline substrates like sapphire. Scanning electron microscopy is used to observe the orientation of the nanotubes. The high purity of the nanotubes is demonstrated by x-ray photoelectron and raman spectroscopy. Scanning probe techniques are utilized to determine mechanical and electronic properties of individual carbon nanotubes. The influence of the substrate-nanotube interaction on the radial deformation of single-walled carbon nanotubes was examined by contact atomic force microscopy (AFM). Electrical measurements were done by conductive AFM.
