Abstract

A carbon nanostructure's geometry and electrical characteristics can be controlled. A method for processing a carbon nanostructure according to the present invention includes the steps of: preparing a carbon nanostructure (e.g., a carbon nanotube) (a CNT preparation step); and exposing the carbon nanotube to an energy beam (e.g., an electron beam) while vibrating the carbon nanotube (an exposure step). This facilitates modifying the carbon nanotube in length and electrical characteristics.
