Imaging the life story of nanotube devices
Live imaging of operating multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT-)based electronic devices is performed by high resolution transmissionelectron microscopy. Our measurements allow us to correlate electronictransport with changes in device structure. Surface contamination,contact annealing, and sequential wall removal are observed. Temperatureprofiles confirm diffusive conduction in MWCNTs in the high bias limit.This technique provides a general platform for studying nanoscalesystems, where geometric configuration and electronic transport areintimately connected.
