Abstract

We present torsional pendulums based on small bundles of single-walled
carbon nanotubes and ultimately on individual single-walled carbon
nanotubes. The nanotubes serve as mechanical support and torsional
spring for a lithographically defined metal plate. The plate can be
actuated in an electric field and the device is operated inside the
transmission electron microscope. In comparison with previous works we
have built mechanically much more fragile devices, i.e. almost three
orders of magnitude heavier suspended metal structures, and metal
blocks suspended on smaller diameter nanotubes. (c) 2006 WILEY-VCH
