Fig. 1: Synthesis process of a CNT probe.
From: Controlled growth of a single carbon nanotube on an AFM probe
The growth solution was dripped on the mica or silicon substrate treated by oxygen plasma, and then the deflection of the AFM cantilever beam was changed by adjusting the trigger threshold so that the AFM probe could pick up the growth solution. Finally, a single CNT could be grown at the AFM tip
