Photonic crystal type nanoarchitectures in butterfly wing scales
Photonic crystals also called Photonic Band Gap (PBG) materials — are periodic dielectric composite structures, which affect the propagation of the light. These materials are intensively studied since two deca...

INFLUENCE OF CATALYST AND CARBON SOURCE ON THE SYNTHESIS OF CARBON NANOTUBES IN A SEMI-CONTINUOUS INJECTION CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION METHOD
The injection chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method allows the semi-continuous production of pure multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). In order to find the most efficient catalyst material and carbon source,...

Modeling and Interpretation of STM Images of Carbon Nanosystems
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is the only tool making it possible to study both the topography and electronic structure of carbon nanosystems in sub-nanometer resolution. The interpretation of the STM im...

Chapter
Atomic Force Microscopy Investigation of Carbon Nanotubes
The basic principles of operation of atomic force microscopy (AFM), and the image formation mechanisms are discussed. In contact mode AFM the tip/sample interaction used to generate the image and to regulate t...

STM “Tip Changes” — A Possible Tool for Tip Characterization
A method based on the detailed analysis of STM tip changes is proposed for the investigation of tip cluster structure. As proposed by Mizes et al [2] the tunneling current for a multiple tip is considered to b...
