Electron backscattering on single-wall carbon nanotubes observed by scanning tunneling microscopy
– Single-wall carbon nanotubes, seamless cylindrical molecules formed from a graphene sheet, are either conducting or semiconducting, depending on the particular “wrapping vector” that defines the waist of the tube. Scanning tunneling microscopy experiments have tested this idea by simultaneously measuring a tube’s lattice structure and electronic properties. Here we present a series of STM ima...
متن کاملObserved by Scanning Electron Microscopy
The strain of P. aeruginosa used was a Fisher serotype 3,7, originally isolated from a patient with severe burns. The susceptibility of the strain to antibiotics used singly and in combination was determined by the tube dilution method (12). Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined by observing the lowest dilution of antibiotic that prevented visible growth of an inoculum of 105...
متن کاملScanning tunneling microscopy of DNA-wrapped carbon nanotubes.
We employ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to reveal the structure of DNA-carbon nanotube complexes with unprecedented spatial resolution and compare our experimental results to molecular dynamics simulations. STM images show strands of DNA wrapping around (6,5) nanotubes at approximately 63 degrees angle with a coiling period of 3.3 nm, in agreement with the theoretical predictions. In addi...
متن کاملAtomic structure of carbon nanotubes from scanning tunneling microscopy
The atomic structure of a carbon nanotube can be described by its chiral angle and diameter and can be specified by a pair of lattice indices (n ,m). The electronic and mechanical properties are critically dependent on these indices. Scanning tunneling microscopy ~STM! is a useful tool to investigate carbon nanotubes since the atomic structure as well as the electronic properties of individual ...
متن کاملScanning tunneling spectroscopy on crossed carbon nanotubes
Crossing nanotubes were investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy ~STM! and spectroscopy. From the analysis of the measured mechanical deformation of the nanotubes, the contact force between the nanotubes is estimated to be 1 nN. Spectroscopy measurements showed two effects on the electronic structure: ~i! band bending, which we attribute to a position-dependent interaction with the subs...
