Real-time observation of liquid Indium unusual behavior inside silica nanotubes

Copper‐Filled Carbon Nanotubes: Rheostatlike Behavior and Femtogram Copper Mass Transport

“…This was likely due to the poor physical contact between the constituting parts of the circuit. Under such conditions and using 300 kV electron irradiation, a nanotube surface may be charged up in a way similar to that found by us for insulating nanotubes (SiO 2 [25,27] and BN [12] ).…”

Nanothermometers for Transmission Electron Microscopy – Fabrication and Characterization

“…= 156°C) was also filled into a CNT and a silica nanotube to study its expansion behavior in the liquid state. [21,22,25] As the temperature is lowered, In cannot recover to its initial position in the CNT, and the melting behavior is significantly different from that for a macroscopic state. [21] On the other hand, the VLS-grown In-silica nanotube shows reversible properties, and its range of operation is between 20 and 500°C.…”

In-situ TEM Observation of Repeating Events of Nucleation in Epitaxial Growth of Nano CoSi2 in Nanowires of Si

“…We report here the point contact reactions between Si nanowires and Co nanodots investigated by in situ highresolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), which is a powerful means for the study of nanoscale kinetics. 15,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] We have grown heterostructure of CoSi 2 /Si/ CoSi 2 with atomically sharp epitaxial interfaces. The metallic CoSi 2 may serve as the source-drain contacts to the Si in the heterostructure; it is the first step to produce a nanoscale field-effect transistor.…”
