摘要：

We demonstrate the feasibility of in situ manipulation and characterization of individual carbon nanotubes using a nano-manipulation system operating inside a scanning electron microscope, which can also act as an electrical probing system. Transport characteristics of an individual multi-walled carbon nanotube in free space can be reversibly changed between linear and non-linear transport behaviour and are a result of changes in nanotube resistance.
