title = "Generation of controllable nano-gaps on single wall carbon nanotubes",
abstract = "We demonstrated the application of the atomic force microscope (AFM) in generation of controllable nano-gaps on single wall carbon nano-tubes (SWCNTs). Tapping mode AFM combined with interleave mode was used to image and manipulate the CNTs. By precise control of the loading force and the scan rate, we were able to generate desired gaps on CNT nanowires ranging from 10.6 nm to 58.8 nm. The gap size dependence on loading force and scan rate was discussed. Such a structure can be applied in fabrication of capacitance-based nano-device toward sensor applications.",
