We measured three-dimensional (3D) force fields above single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in ultra-high vacuum by scanning dynamic force microscopy and spectroscopy at low temperature (< 12 K). The 3D force field measurement was based on the systematic recording of the frequency shift of the cantilever oscillation, caused by the tip−sample interaction [1]. The atomic-resolution carbon lattice images were obtained in noncontact mode observation before and after the 3D force field measurement. The image contrast of the carbon lattice in SWNTs was different from that in the graphite (HOPG). We analyzed the spatial distribution of the force between tip and surfaces of individual SWNTs and a SWNT bundle in terms of long- and short-range contribution to the tip-sample interaction. On the basis of this analysis, we will discuss the adsorption sites of other molecules on to the surfaces of individual SWNTs and SWNT bundles.
