Radial Electromechanical Properties of Carbon Nanotubes
Source abstract
Abstract
The radial electromechanical properties of carbon nanotubes have been measured. The electrical conductance of single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as a function of the loading force and bias voltage applied by an atomic force microscope tip is reported (see Figure). An increase of the conductance due to the tip–SWNT electrical contact formation and a drop of the conductance at high loading forces due to radial molecule deformation are observed (see also inside front cover).

19. The higher slope for forces > 50 nN indicates that a stiffer material is being deformed under the tip; this could mean that the mica substrate that has a Young's modulus of 50 Gpa.
20. The total force applied on the nanotube is the normal force monitored during the experiment and the adhesion force measured in the retraction movement 10 nN in this case (data not shown).
