TI  - Variation of radial elasticity in multiwalled carbon nanotubes.
PG  - 3891-4
AB  - Correlations between the local diameter and local radial elastic modulus in 
      multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were investigated via ultrasonic force 
      microscopy. Spatial cross-correlation analysis showed that local radial modulus 
      variations were inversely correlated with local diameter gradients ("bamboo" 
      structures) in MWNTs grown via chemical vapor deposition (CVD). In contrast, 
      uniform MWNTs grown via arc discharge exhibited no such correlation, indicating 
      that reductions of elastic modulus previously reported for CVD-grown MWNTs 
      originated from increased defect density associated with local increases in 
      diameter.
