CAPTURE METHOD OF MICROPARTICLE, ARRANGEMENT METHOD THEREOF, AND PROBE USED FOR THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide technology for selecting and capturing one or a plurality of microparticles, and also to provide arrangement technology for achieving the measurement of physical properties of one microparticle by arranging the captured microparticle between metal electrodes with a gap of nanometers, and further to provide a probe used for capturing and arranging the microparticle.

SOLUTION: A method of capturing and arranging the microparticles includes a step for preparing the probe having a metal probe mounted with a carbon nanotube at its leading end, a step for bringing the leading end of the carbon nanotube into contact with the microparticle, and a step for fixing the microparticle and the carbon nanotube by depositing amorphous carbon through focusing electronic beams at the carbon nanotube of a contact part with the microparticle. The probe is used for capturing and arranging the microparticle.
