摘要
We have fabricated a scanning probe microscope tip with a truss consisting of two nanotubes using a scanning electron microscope manipulator. The tip of the nanotube truss was successfully positioned on the optical axis of a tapered optical fiber used as the base. Force curve measurements for the nanotube truss were also performed using the manipulator to investigate the mechanical strength of the truss. The stiffness of the truss was 3.5 higher than that of the individual nanotube.
