摘要
After adsorption on a silicon substrate, coiled multiwalled nanotubes retain a 3D structure with sections of freely suspended windings. Electrical gold contacts attached to the nanotubes turn out to be sensitive to vibrations (i.e., the contacts reveal a piezoresistive-like response). When exciting the nanotube windings either electrically or acoustically, the fundamental resonances (ranging from 100 to 400 MHz) can be detected. The resonators are sensitive to mass changes as small as a few tens of attograms.
