We performed four-terminal conductivity measurements on a CoSi2 nanowire (NW) at room temperature by using PtIr-coated carbon nanotube (CNT) tips in a four-tip scanning tunneling microscope. The physical stability and high aspect ratio of the CNT tips made it possible to reduce the probe spacing down to ca. 30 nm. The probe-spacing dependence of resistance showed diffusive transport even at 30 nm and no current leakage to the Si substrate.
我们使用四探针扫描隧道显微镜中涂有铂铱的碳纳米管(CNT)尖端,在室温下对一根CoSi2纳米线(NW)进行了四端电导率测量。碳纳米管尖端的物理稳定性和高纵横比使得将探针间距减小到约30纳米成为可能。电阻对探针间距的依赖性表明,即使在30纳米时也存在扩散输运,并且没有电流泄漏到硅衬底。
