Signatures of Chemical Defects in
Carbon Nanotube Electronic Devices

A broad look at defects
Types of Devices (all CVD
SWCNT):
•pristine nanotube with nearly ballistic
conduction
•Growth defects in unmodified
nanotubes
•Mild oxidation (no missing carbon)
•Harsh oxidation (missing carbon)
Tools to Study CNT Defects
•Scanning Tunneling Microscopy
Ishigashi, PRL. November, 2004
•Chemical Labeling
Fan, Nature Materials. December, 2005
•Scanning Gate Microscopy

•Kelvin Force Microscopy

Scanning Probe Microscopy - KFM

VSD
VF
Vtip
Kelvin Force Microscopy (KFM):
• Records forces between tip and
sample
• Measures Surface Potential
• Allows indirect measurement of
local resistance

Scanning Probe Microscopy - SGM

VSD
VF
Scanned Gate Microscopy (SGM):
• Records current through the
nanotube circuit
• Measures local field sensitivity
• Shows where the device is “gate
sensitive”

Microscopy techniques such as KFM
and SGM show that oxidation
and growth defects have similar
effects on CNT circuits.
