14. A large gap was observed in the 3 μm long nanotube after breakdown, likely due to electron field emission and arcing in air during breakdown caused by high local fields at the break points. The nanotube section near the break points became wavy (was straight before), indicating mechanical "jolt" during the breakdown.
