Directly observed covalent coupling of quantum dots to single-wall carbon nanotubes.

Carboxylate chemistry is used to covalently couple metal nanoparticles to defect sites in controllably oxidized single-walled carbon nanotube termini and side-walls, and this process monitored by atomic force microscopy.
