Mapping of Functionalized Regions on Carbon Nanotubes by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy
Mapping of Functionalized Regions on Carbon Nanotubes by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy
Scanning tunneling microscopy gives us the opportunity to map the surface of functionalized carbon nanotubes in an energy resolved manner and with atomic precision. But this potential is largely untapped, mainly due to sample stability issues which inhibit reliable measurements. Here we present a simple and straightforward solution that makes …
