Deskripsi

<p>Abstract</p> <p>A single SnO<sub>2 </sub>nanobelt was assembled on a pair of Au electrodes by electric-field assembly method. The electronic transport property of single SnO<sub>2 </sub>nanobelt was studied by conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM). Back-to-back Schottky barrier-type junctions were created between AFM tip/SnO<sub>2 </sub>nanobelt/Au electrode which can be concluded from the I-V curve. The current images of single SnO<sub>2 </sub>nanobelt nanodevices were also studied by C-AFM techniques, which showed stripes patterns on the nanobelt surface. The current images of the nanobelt devices correlate the microscopy with separate transport properties measurement together.</p>
