(57) [Summary] [Objective] To provide a method for processing a part of a carbon nanotube. [Structure] At least including a step of irradiating the carbon nanotubes 1 with ions 4 having an appropriate mass and energy to cut a part of bonds of carbon atoms constituting the carbon nanotubes to create dangling bonds 5. It is a method of processing a carbon nanotube, which is characterized in that When the number of unbonded hands formed on a part of the carbon nanotube increases, holes can be formed in the nanotube to introduce / exhaust other substances (impurities) or cut. Further, it becomes possible to grow a new crystal structure from dangling bonds, and various structures of carbon nanotubes can be obtained. |
