Scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) can, in principle, probe the electronic density of states of a singlewall nanotube, or the outermost cylinder of a multi-wall tubule, or of a bundle of tubules. With this technique, it is further possible to carry out both STS and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements at the same location on the same tubule and, therefore, to measure the tubule diameter concurrently with the STS spectrum. No reports have yet been made of a determination of the chiral angle of a tubule with the STM technique. Several groups have, thus far, attempted STS studies of individual tubules.

Film-forming chemical reactions and the chemical composition of the film formed on lithium in nonaqueous aprotic liquid electrolytes are reviewed by Dominey [7], SEI formation on carbon and graphite anodes in liquid electrolytes has been reviewed by Dahn et al. [8], In addition to the evolution of new systems, new techniques have recently been adapted to the study of the electrode surface and the chemical and physical properties of the SEI. The most important of these are X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), SEM, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), FTIR, NMR, EPR, calorimetry, DSC, TGA, use of quartz-crystal microbalance (QCMB) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). 

The physical methods mostly require ultra high vacuum conditions having the disadvantage of not being applicable directly to solvent swollen films, but recent developments of in situ measurements in SIMS X-ray diffraction surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and scanning electrochemical tunneling microscopy...
