Characterization of the Resistance and Force of a Carbon Nanotube/Metal Side Contact by Nanomanipulation

Figure 8

Measurement of EBID fixing force. (a) A picked CNT bridging to the tip of cantilever C4 with one EBID point from cantilever C3. (b) The original state of the two cantilevers after CNT bridging. (c) Coordinated motion of C4 following C3. (d) Stretched CNT broken in the middle and C4 recovered. Scale bar indicates 1 μm.
