SEM image of a multiwall carbon nanotube contacted with a
Pd(3nm)Nb(45nm)bilayer (blue),
the viewing angle is 80 degrees. The palladium-niobium is sputtered on top of
the nanotube,
the flakes from the lift off are visible. The leads (gold) are made of an
palladium-gold alloy
and used as on chip resistors. E. Pallecchi, M. Gaass, F. Otto.
