Abstract

We report on a technique able to create low-energy hydrogen ions induced defects on single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) using a hydrogen electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma source. Low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (LT-STM) investigations revealed defect sites with hillocks-like features between 1 and 3 in height and lateral spreading between 0.5 nm and 2 nm. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) measurements on a metallic SWCNT revealed a strong modification of the electronic structure on a specific defect zone characterized by a pronounced peak in the local density of states (LDOS) close to the Fermi energy.
