Research Abstract

Physical and chemical properties of carbon nanotubes are very much dependent on the atomic structures such as chirality, impurity, defects, and dopant. To correlate these properties with the exact atomic structures is therefore prerequisite to realizing the carbon nanotube devices. In this study, we have developped the TEM methods to identify the defects and the molecules trapped inside the carbon nanotubes and tied to measure the transport and optical properties of the nanotube devices.
