Abstract:
PURPOSE: A high-sensitivity and high-selectivity mercury ion sensing technique is provided to sense the mercury ion based on the spontaneous and selective oxidation-reduction reaction between the mercury ion and the carbon nanotube. CONSTITUTION: A mercury ion sensor comprises a substrate, a source electrode(13), a drain electrode(14), and a carbon nanotube transistor. The carbon nanotube is connected between the source electrode and the drain electrode. The carbon nanotube makes the oxidation-reduction reaction with the mercury ion. The carbon nanotube is the single-walled carbon nanotube. The mercury ion sensor detects the mercury ion by measuring the conductance change of the carbon nanotube by the oxidation-reduction reaction of the carbon nanotube and the mercury ion.

PURPOSE: A method for forming a quantum well structure on SPM probes, the SPM probes including the quantum well structure and an SPM apparatus including the same are provided to realize nanoscale resolution for an optical imaging technique by tuning the SPM probes to exhibit an optical property without limitation by detectors. CONSTITUTION: A flexible cantilever beam(1) is prepared. A tip(2) is formed on the end part of the cantilever beam. A quantum well structure(3) is formed on the sharp end of the tip formed on the end part of the cantilever beam. An average diameter of the quantum well structure section in the horizontal direction is 10nm to 1um. The thickness of the quantum well structure in the vertical direction is 1nm to 1um.

PURPOSE: A method for manufacturing cross-structures of nanostructures is provided to prepare cross-structures such as nanotubes or nanowires. CONSTITUTION: A method for manufacturing cross-structures of nanostructures comprises the steps of: providing a substrate(110); patterning a first mask layer(120) on a substrate; adsorbing first nanostructures(130) on surface regions of a substrate in which a first mask layer does not exist; removing the substrate from the first mask layer; patterning a second mask layer(140) on the substrate in which first nanostructureses are assembled; and adsorbing second nanostructures(150) on the surface regions of the substrate in which the second mask layer does not exist.
