Production of Defects (functionalization)
1. Electrochemical defect creation
2. I(V) of nanotubes with an added defect
3. Field sensitivity of a created defect
4. Local resistance of a created defect
5. Enhancement of Chemical reactivity

2. I(V) of Created Defects created defects show tunneling behavior

3. Localized Field Sensitivity - SGM
• Record current through the nanotube circuit while scanning with a gate probe.
• Measures local field sensitivity• Shows where the device is “gate
sensitive”

4. Local Resistance - KFM• Records forces between tip and
sample• Measures Surface Potential• Allows indirect measurement of
local resistance
