22. Although the CVD-process predominantly yields single wall carbon nanotubes, some multiwall nanotubes with very few (2 or 3) shells might also be present. SWNTs are selected by their apparent height of 2 nm or less in the AFM.
23. Data are taken with an Omicron/Zeiss Beetle AFM with a quartz "needle sensor." Tungsten-carbide tips are mounted on the needle sensor and used as conducting probes.
