Scanning tunneling spectroscopy of suspended single-wall carbon nanotubes

Scanning tunneling spectroscopy of suspended single-wall carbon nanotubes

We have performed low-temperature STM measurements on single-wall carbon nanotubes that are freely suspended over a trench. The nanotubes were grown by CVD on a Pt substrate with predefined trenches etched into it. Atomic resolution was obtained on the freestanding portions of the nanotubes. Spatially resolved spectroscopy on the suspended …
