Manipulation of individual carbon nanotubes and their interaction with surfaces
Article Abstract:
The tip of an atomic force microscope has been used to manipulate multiwalled carbon nanotubes on a passivated silicon surface. Multiwalled carbon nanotuves were dissolved in methylene chloride using an ultrasonic bath and the solution was dissolved dispersed on a H-passivated Si(100) surface. The results showed that the interaction between the nanotubes and the substrate can stabilize highly strained nanotube configurations, with the resulting distortion inducing changes on the electronic structure and electron transport properties.

Adsorption of NH3 and NO2 on single-walled carbon nanotubes
Article Abstract:
The FTIR spectroscopy and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) are employed to study the interaction of NH3 and NO2 with heterogeneous bundles of carbon single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs). The interaction between the small molecules and SWNT are discussed.
