A dry method for densifying vertically aligned carbon nanotube bundles is proposed and experimentally validated. The process uses the deposition of thin SiO 2 films to seal the porous CNT bundles at low pressure. When the CNT bundles are transferred back to ambient pressure they are densified by the

## Abstract An in situ electron microscopy study is presented of adhesion interactions between singleβwalled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by mechanically peeling thin freeβstanding SWNT bundles using in situ nanomanipulation techniques inside a highβresolution scanning electron microscope. The in situ
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) grown on Si(1 0 0) were irradiated with X-ray having the spectrum with a peak at 277 eV. We measured Raman scattering spectra of the samples before and after the irradiation at various fluences and found that the relative intensity of the defect-related band, D
The optical properties of bundled nanotubes were examined for high-bit-rate telecommunication applications. The diameters of the nanotubes in the bundles were determined to be from 0.6783 to 1.5147 nm, and their chiralities were also determined using resonant vibration modes. Their crystallographic
