Abstract: Abstract To realize the full potential of multiwall carbon nanotubes in applications such as biological and scanned probes, it is desirable to develop techniques for controlling their shape and geometry. Here we describe a method by which the outer layers of a multiwall nanotube can be successively removed at the end to produce what is effectively a sharpened structure.
