We found that inner shells of the MWNT were retracted (slide and disappeared) to the Mo electrode, and the total electrical conductance decreased accordingly. This result shows that inner shells being retracted to the Mo electrode contribute to the electric conduction in the MWNT. Utilizing this inner-shell retraction phenomenon, inter-shell conductance per unit length in a MWNT is derived to be ca. 13–19 mS/µm., Proceedings of the 10th International Symposium on Atomic Level Characterization for New Materials and Devices (ALC 2015),Matsue, Japan, 25-30 October 2015}, pages = {1206--1209}, title = {In situ TEM study on structural and electric conduction properties of a multiwall carbon nanotube connected to a Mo electrode}, volume = {48}, year = {2016} }
