摘要
Atomic configurations of individual single-walled and double-walled carbon nanotubes have been obtained by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy with atomic sensitivity. A structural reconstruction is carried out by Fourier-filtered analysis of Moire patterns, and it is now possible to acquire the carbon honeycomb lattice images through all of the periphery of individual nanotubes. This visualization technique provides supplementary access in nanoscale characterizations by combining with scanning tunneling microscopy.
