Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be used as atomic force microscope (AFM) probes due to their robust mechanical properties, high aspect ratio and small diameter. In this study, a model of CNTs clamped in an elastic medium is proposed as CNT AFM probes. The buckling instability of the CNT probe clamped in ... [J. Nanotechnol. Eng.
