Popis: Building smaller transistors with enhanced functionality is critical in extending the limits of Moores law and meeting the demands of the electronics industry. Here we demonstrate transistor operation in a suspended single carbon nanotube (CNT) using feedback-enabled radiation pressure of a near-field focused laser that enabled significant changes in conductivity of the CNT. Further, using in-situ tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, we show that the change in conductivity of over five orders in magnitude is accompanied by self-induced defect states within the CNT. The entire structure is less than 10 nm in dimension and shows promise of scalability. This is a novel method for achieving logic operations at the nanoscale.
