• tunneling current does not induce artificial damping up to 100 nA at room temperature. The dissipation detected by the amplitude regulator is the result of mainly two contributions. The first one, which has a long-range characteristic, is related to the instrumentation and can be subtracted. The second one

• and the equipment required is available as the standard instrumentation of a chemical laboratory. In this publication, we describe an effective synthesis of ITO nanotubes (ITO-NTs) with a diameter of approx. 100 nm and a wall thickness of approx. 10 nm. The ITO-NTs were grown by electroless deposition
