In this work, we utilize Joule<\/a> heating to convert Pt-embedded amorphous carbon<\/a> nanofiber<\/a> (CNF) to multiwall carbon nanotube (CNT) in a transmission electron microscope<\/a> (TEM). The transformation process<\/a> of Pt-embedded amorphous CNF to multiwall CNT and nano-soldering process using Pt encapsulated CNT was investigated in TEM in detail. Molten<\/a> Pt-encapsulated inside CNF and CNT always flowed towards the anode<\/a>, proving electromigration<\/a> to be the dominant force over thermal migration. Controllable electromigration of Pt was utilized to connect the Pt-included CNT to another CNT, thus forming a seamlessly welded CNT structure. Further, two separate CNF were brought together to form Y-contact which was transformed into Y-junction CNT structure by controlled electromigration of Pt. Changes in morphology and electrical property during CNT formation and nano-soldering were probed in real time with high resolution TEM. Our method provides a procedure for the position control<\/a> synthesis of CNT and its nano-soldering which can be an important step for future development of a CNT based nanoelectrical circuit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
