The recent application of tunneling probes in electronic structure studies of carbon nanotubes has proven both powerful and challenging. Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS), local electronic properties in ordered aggregates of carbon nanotubes (multiwalled nanotubes and ropes of single walled nanotubes) have been probed. In this report, we present evidence for interlayer (concentric tube) interactions in multiwalled tubes and tube-tube interactions in singlewalled nanotube ropes. The spatially resolved, local electronic structure, as determined by the local density of electronic states, is shown to clearly reflect tube-tube interactions in both of these aggregate forms.

AbstractThis paper reports our scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/STS) study of double-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) of different diameter deposited on Bi2Te3 (narrow gap semiconductor). The approximate diameter of the studied double-walled and multi-walled CNTs was 2 nm and 8 nm, respectively. Crystalline Bi2Te3 was used as a substrate to enhance the contrast between the CNTs and the substrate in the STS measurements performed to examine peculiarities of CNT morphology, such as junctions, ends or structural defects, in terms of their electronic structure.
