  • Abstract
    This paper addresses the exploitation of the field emitting properties of carbon nanotubes for movement sensor applications. To utilize this transducer principle a well defined gap between the field emitting carbon nanotubes and the counter electrode must be formed. Three different methods to dissect the dielectrophoretically deposited carbon nanotubes in a reproducible way are presented.
