Miniaturized sensors have been demonstrated by micromachining technology since late 1980s. Recently, carbon-nanotubes (CNTs) have been extensively explored for a variety of applications since they have unique electrical and exceptional mechanical properties, which may be excellent candidate for nano-sensors. Conductors or semiconductors can be formed with different length and diameters of CNT, multi-walled...
This paper presents a novel and easily controllable method for measurement of the interaction of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with surfaces using simple cantilever beams, a nanomanipulator, and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). A small SWNT bundle is assembled across two cantilevers by dielectrophoresis, with one cantilever much more flexible than the other. The flexible cantilever is...
We introduce NanoPen, a novel technique for flexible, real-time reconfigurable, and large-scale light-actuated patterning of single or multiple nanoparticles such as metallic spherical nanoparticles, semiconducting and metallic nanowires, and carbon nanotubes.
Carbon nanotubes have been used as building blocks for assembly of nanostructures and nanodevices. Therefore, the interaction between the carbon nanotube and the environment is important. Interaction forces which were mainly consisted of van der Waals forces between a single multi-walled carbon nanotube tip and a gold surface were investigated and measured with an atomic force microscope cantilever...
