Abstract

Nanofabrication as a key technology can improve the applications of nanotechnology. In recent years, CNTs have been proposed as a basic building block for a new generation of nanoelectronic and mechanical systems. Previous researches showed that CNTs can be used as linear [1] and rotational nanobearings[2], mass conveyors [3], field emitters [4, 5], AFM probes [6], nanotweezers [7], nanoposition sensors [8] and so on.
