“…This technique has been used to build field-effect transistors [143], and recent developments are looking at ways to align the nanotubes so grown [144,145]. CVD growth of nanotubes is being used to produce SPM tips made from CNTs [146]. Research is also proceeding into the effects of functionalization [145,147]; it has been found that different types of CNT will react with different reagents (so that, for instance, metallic nanotubes can be functionalized almost exclusively within a sample).…”

The technology to build and study nanowires with sizes ranging from individual atoms to tens of nanometres has been developing rapidly over the last few years. We survey the motivation behind these developments, and summarize the basics behind quantized conduction. Several of the different experimental techniques and materials systems used in the creation of nanowires are examined, and the range of theoretical methods developed both for examining open systems (especially their conduction properties) and for modelling large systems are considered. We present various noteworthy example results from the field, before concluding with a look at future directions.

“…We have developed a chemical vapor deposition technique [19] to grow a fiber-protected carbon nanotubes (F-CNT). Our main goal was to grow a configuration of carbon nanotube that would be easy to handle and could withstand the intense ion beam in a focused ion beam instrument.…”

Focused ion beam (FIB) techniques have found many applications in nanoscience and nanotechnology applications in recent years. However, not much work has been done using FIB to fabricate carbon nanotube devices. This is mainly due to the fact that carbon nanotubes are very fragile and energetic ion beam from FIB can easily damage the carbon nanotubes. Here we report the fabrication of carbon nanotube (CNT) devices, including electron field emitters, atomic force microscope tips, and nano-pores for biomedical applications. This is made possible by a unique, coaxial configuration consisting of a CNT embedded in a graphitic carbon coating, which was developed by us for FIB processing of carbon nanotubes. The CNT-based atomic force microscope tip has been demonstrated. The electron field emission from the tip and the side wall of CNT will be discussed. We will also report the fabrication of a multiwall carbon nanotube nanopore for future applications.
