Abstract:
Reported here is an extension of the nanotube longitudinal unzipping process to convert electrode-bound multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) devices into graphene nanoribbon devices. Microscopy and Raman spectroscopy were used to monitor the conversion process. The electrical properties of the devices were characterized. The efficacy of the unzipping protocol on device-bound MWCNTs is demonstrated.
