ABSTRACT
The electromechanical behavior of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in contact with different materials is investigated by scanning probe microscopy. An anomalous diamond/semiconducting nanotube behavior is observed, which is consistent with ab initio calculations: the formation of a broken-gap heterojunction between semiconducting SWNTs and a hydrogenated diamond surface results in a metallic response for such SWNTs.
