Overview
- Nominated by Chinese Academy of Sciences as an outstanding PhD thesis
- Describes a novel in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) approach to investigate the nucleation and growth mechanism of carbon nanotubes (CNTs)
- Proposes a hetero-epitaxial growth strategy of CNTs from boron nitride, which provides a new route for the controllable growth of CNTs
- Introduces an electron beam-assisted nanomachining technique and the fabrication of a CNT-clamped metal atomic chain prototype device based on this technique
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
