  • Nanotube arrangements and methods therefor
    Patent number: 7170055
    Abstract: Nanotubes and nanotube-based devices are implemented in a variety of applications. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, nanotube tips are coated with metal. In some applications, the metal coating facilitates the resolution of nano-scale magnetic features, such as features smaller than about 20 nanometers. In another embodiment, such metal-coated nanotubes are implemented with magnetic force microscopy (MFM) applications and adapted for implementation with structures and arrangements exhibiting a high aspect ratio, facilitating quantitative analysis of MFM data.
