High-performance partially aligned semiconductive single-walled carbon nanotube transistors achieved with a parallel technique by Wang, Yilei, Pillai, Suresh Kumar Raman, Chan-Park, Mary B.

“…Atomic force microscopy shows that the partial alignment is uniform over an area of 20 × 20 mm2 and confirms that the orientation of the nanotubes is mostly along the fluid flow direction, with a narrow orientation scatter characterized by a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of <15° for all but the densest film, which is 35°. …”
