Figure 5.7. Electrical transport in trapped nanowires. (a) Dark-field microscope
image of a single nanowire trapped by an electrode pair under solvent with
electrical transport (b) measured with solvent, (c) measured with trapped
nanowire in solvent, and (d) calculated for nanowire alone. (e) Dark-field
microscope image of two trapped nanowires on dried substrate with electrical
transport measured (f) immediately after drying and (g) after several voltage
sweeps. Scale bars are 10 mm.
