High Resolution Electron Microscopy of Carbon Nano-Tube at Room and High 8. Temperatures (HF-2200 TEM 112)

From Hitachi High Technologies America, Inc.
 

 
Carbon nano-tubes were discovered in 1991. These tubes are in the form of a filament and different from normal materials in size and structure. They were assumed to have unique characteristics. Extensive research on this material has been made in various fields, specifically in terms of material characterization and manufacturing techniques. Practical use of nano-tubes is also in progress. An electron source for a field emission display device is one of such examples. An electronic device of nano-scale may be a possibility in the future. Electron microscopes have been used for studying the structures of carbon nano-tubes. Some scum has been found on the surfaces of nano-tubes which may have adhered in the manufacturing process.
