| Research Abstract |
Aiming to the exploitation of the actuator which operates in a nanometer/ micrometer area, electrostatic and mechanical characteristics of individual carbon nanocoils(CNCs) were studied mainly by in-situ measurement in the transmission and scanning electron microscopes. Elemental technologies to realize the CNC-based nanoactuators were examined by constructing some prototypes of basic machinery components inside the electron microscopes and verifying their behaviors under load or electrostatic fields.
