DESTRUCTIVE CONSTRUCTIONS OF NANOSTRUCTURES WITH CARBON NANOTUBES THROUGH NANOROBOTIC MANIPULATION
OUTLINE • Introduction • Nanorobotic Manipulation System • Selection of Individual Nanotubes • Destructive Fabrication of Nano building blocks • Cunstruction of Nanostructures using EBID • Conclusion
Directly applied to • Nano electro mechanical systems, nano electronics But in most cases -modifications are needed e.g.. An ideal AFM probe tip, biological electrode Destructive fabrication MWCNT is stretched and broken to obtain layered structure and sharpened structure
Nanorobotics -Nanorobotics is concerned with interactions with atomic- and molecular-sized objects and is some times called Molecular Robotics. -Nanomanipulation is synonym with Nanorobot which is defined as positioning and/or orientation control of Nanometer scale objects with nanometer resolution
Selection of Nanotubes Procedures • Pre-select a nanotube or bundle by picking up from raw materials • Test the flexural rigidity of the pre selected one to determine whether it has desired properties • If it is so, select it, otherwise go for next pre-selection and repeat above step
Destructive Fabrication -Desired building blocks of MWNTs for nanostructures can be obtained by deforming or breaking a nanotube, which is defined as destructive fabrication -Here we will discuss 1)Plastic Deforming MWNTs 2)Breaking and Sharpening MWNTs 3Bearing Motion of MWNTs 4)Improved Lenth controlling by surface force Clamping
Construction of Nanostructures Using EBID • Electrons could be emitted from a cold metal surface in the presence of a strong electric field which is known as field emission • Electron Beam Induced Deposition is caused by the dissociation of molecules adsorbed to a surface by energy electrons • Here EBID provides a soldering effect
Comparison of Connection strength connected through weak Vanderwaal forces(a) and EBID deposits
Conclusion • Destructive construction using nanorobotic manipulator is a strategy to construct nanostructures and it is an effective way to obtain layered and/or sharpened structures of nanotubes for the application of nanobearing and probe tips • It is also possible for the manipulations of nanometer-order bio-objects. • Nanorobotic manipulation is more effective than nanoscale self assembly. This method does mot mean that nanorobotic manipulation can replace such technologies at least at present.
