16. 3/min. The electrodes were placed parallel to the gas flow, to rule out any possible influence of the flow on the direction of nanotube growth. While applying the voltage, the resistance was monitored and ensured to be always within a range of 1-10 MΩ, to avoid accidental electrical leakages, breakdowns, or disconnections.
17. 3 layer (5 nm) was evaporated on the silicon oxide areas exposed through the PMMA, the substrates were dipped in a 1 mg/L ferritin solution, rinsed with water, and blow-dried, then the PMMA was lifted off in 1,2-dichloroethane, and the substrates were cleaned in oxygen plasma. Nanoparticle sizes were determined by atomic force microscopy (AFM).
