HRTEM and STXM, a combined study of an individual focused-ion-beam patterned CNT

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are either metallic or semiconducting and are unique in terms of their chemical and thermal stability, strength and elasticity. The combination of all these properties is expected to reshape the development of functional devices. However, the relatively low reactivity of the CNT surface presents a challenge for their integration. One approach to tackle this drawback is to tailor the interface reactivity by creating …
