## Abstract In this work the STM investigation of nanotube point defects created by ion irradiation (e.g. vacancies) is presented. The defects appeared as hillockโlike features on the STM images. These defects were compared with similar features observed on the STM images of asโgrown coiled carbon
Carbon nanotubes prepared by thermal decomposition of hydrocarbons on supported Co catalysts were investigated by STM in air. An interpretation of the STM images is proposed which accounts for specific distortions taking place while scanning three-dimensional objects whose dimensions are of the orde
