Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The disclosure relates to a method for detecting surface electric field distribution of nanostructures. The method includes the following steps of: providing a sample located on an insulated surface of a substrate; spraying first charged nanoparticles to the insulated surface; and blowing vapor to the insulated surface to observe a distribution of the first charged nanoparticles via an optical microscope.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for detecting surface electric field distribution of nanostructures, the method comprising the following steps of: providing a nanostructure sample located on an insulated surface of a substrate; spraying first charged nanoparticles to the insulated surface; and blowing vapor to the insulated surface to image the first charged nanoparticles via an optical microscope. 2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the nanostructure sample is zero-dimensional nanomaterials, one-dimensional nanomaterials, or two-dimensional nanomaterials. 3. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the nanostructure sample is carbon nanotubes. 4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the substrate is a silicon substrate with a silicon dioxide layers located on a surface of the silicon substrate. 5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the first charged nanoparticles ranges from about 0.5 nanometers to about 5 nanometers. 6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a first charged nanoparticle are crystals difficult to sublimate. 7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first charged nanoparticles are all positively charged or all negatively charged. 8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first charged nanoparticles are charged glucose nanoparticles, charged sucrose nanoparticles or charged metal salt nanoparticles. 9. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the vapor is water vapor or ethanol vapor. 10. A method for detecting surface electric field distribution of nanostructures, the method comprising the following steps of: providing a nanostructure sample located on an insulated surface of a substrate, and a vapor-condensation-assisted optical microscope system comprising a vapor-condensation-assisted device and an optical microscope comprising a stage, wherein the vapor-condensation-assisted device configured to provide vapor; locating a sample on the stage; spraying first charged nanoparticles to the insulated surface; and blowing vapor to the insulated surface to image the first charged nanoparticles via an optical microscope. 11. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the vapor-condensation-assisted device comprises an air blowing device, a vapor producing device and a guide pipe connected with each other; and the air blowing device blows air through the vapor producing device into the guide pipe.
