Abstract

Effects of low-acceleration-voltage (20 kV) electron irradiation damage in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were studied by in-situ electric measurements. The irradiation drastically decreased the conductivity for both metallic and semiconducting nanotubes due to the irradiation-induced damage. Intensive electron irradiation made the SWNTs almost insulating. This phenomenon could be utilized to fabricate nanotube-based electric networks.
