Question:
You are performing an AFM measurement of CNTs on a surface. a) What is the "apparent" or "measured" radius (width) ρ of a CNT of radius r if the radius of the AFM tip is R? Derive an algebraic expression for ρ, showing all relevant steps. b) Can a carbon nanotube of diameter 1 nm lying on a flat surface be "detected" by your AFM with a Si3N4 tip radius of 10 nm? Can it be "resolved"? Discuss qualitatively the difference between resolution and detection.
