We present a cryogenic STM study of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) deposited on Si(100) surfaces. Imaging and spectroscopic results by means of LT-STM will be demonstrated and analyzed. Using STM-manipulations, contacts (different metals) with the CNTs are formed and characterized. Aspects of the CNTs purity, preparation, and interaction with the substrate will be discussed.
