Abstract

The determination of the exact values of (n,m) or equivalently (d, ϑ)for an individual singlewall nanotube (SWNT) is of great importance, in particular for comparison with transport measurements. In this study, the selected area electron diffraction technique is used to investigate the structure of individual carbon nanotubes grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) directly on TEM-Si3N4 membranes.
