Depending on the probe potential, SIM can be performed in both invasive and non-invasive mode. High-resolution imaging of the defects is achieved when the probe acts as a local gate and simultaneously an electrostatic probe of local potential. A class of weak defects becomes observable even if they are located in the vicinity of strong defects. The imaging mechanism of tip-gating scanning impedance microscopy is discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-10-22T02:06:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "nanoelectronic devices", "tip-gating effect", "semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes", "tip-gating scanning impedance microscopy", "electrostatic probe" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
