Overview
Written by prominent scientists, this book is the first to specifically address the theory, techniques, and application of electron microscopy and associated techniques for nanotube research, a topic that is impacting a variety of fields, such as nanoelectronics, flat panel display, nanodevices, and novel instrumentation.
Synopsis
Written by an international array of researchers, this collection describes the various applications of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in the structural, electronic, and property characterization of carbon nanotubes. Three of the 12 contributions examine inorganic tubular structures and one-dimensional nanocrystals grown by filling nanotubes. Other topics include diffraction and imaging of single- walled carbon nanotubes, electron energy loss spectroscopy of nanotubes and onions, the capacity of TEM to create new nanostructures, in situ measurement of the mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes and nanowires, and ballistic quantum conductance.
