Abstract
Here, we describe the development of an inexpensive and versatile
manipulation system for in situ experiments in a field emission
scanning electron microscope based on a parallel-guiding plate-spring
mechanism and low cost materials. The system has been tested for a wide
range of applications, such as collecting, moving, and positioning
particles, fabricating atomic force microscopy tips based on carbon
nanotubes, and characterizing individual nanobjects. The nanomanipulation
results demonstrate that there are many opportunities for the use of
physical manipulation in the bottom-up approach to fabrication of
nanodevices.
