(a) A temporal set of AFM amplitude images of pNBA nanocrystals (NCs) along a single carbon nanotube (CNT). The time interval between each image is 11 min. Scale bar, 1 μm. (b) A temporal set of dark field optical microscopy intensity of pNBA NCs along a single CNT. The time interval between each image is 6.5 min. Scale bar is 2 μm. (c) Left axis: NC height as function of time (blue circles) and theoretical fit according to Supplementary Eq. 7 (red line). Right axis: Relative dark field optical microscopy intensity of pNBA NC along CNT as a function of time (green circles). (d) Temporal dependence of the maximum height of different NCs along different CNTs.
