Anomalous I–V curve for mono-atomic carbon chains
The electronic transport properties of mono-atomic carbon chains were studied theoretically using a combination of density functional theory and the non-equilibrium Green’s functions method. The I–V curves for the chains composed of an even number of atoms and attached to gold electrodes through sulfur exhibit two plateaus where the current becomes bias independent. In contrast, when the number...
متن کاملNanospintronic properties of carbon-cobalt atomic chains
– Periodic atom chains of carbon-cobalt compounds, (CnCo)∞, comprise both conducting and insulating electronic properties simultaneously depending on the spin type of electrons, and hence are half-metals. Their band gap and the net magnetic moment oscillate with the number of carbon atoms in a unit cell. Finite segments of these chains also show interesting magnetic and transport properties. Wh...
متن کاملStrain-induced metal–semiconductor transition observed in atomic carbon chains
Carbyne, the sp(1)-hybridized phase of carbon, is still a missing link in the family of carbon allotropes. While the bulk phases of carbyne remain elusive, the elementary constituents, that is, linear chains of carbon atoms, have already been observed using the electron microscope. Isolated atomic chains are highly interesting one-dimensional conductors that have stimulated considerable theoret...
متن کاملMono- and multilayer formation by diazonium reduction on carbon surfaces monitored with atomic force microscopy "scratching".
Contact mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to intentionally scratch a monolayer deposited on a pyrolyzed photoresist film (PPF). The force was set to completely remove the monolayer but not to damage the underlying PPF surface. A line profile determined across the scratch with tapping mode AFM permitted determination of the monolayer thickness from the depth of the scratch. A statistic...
متن کاملInteraction of small gold clusters with carbon nanotube bundles: formation of gold atomic chains.
We use first-principles density functional theory to simulate the interaction of bundles of semiconducting (10, 0) and metallic (6, 6) carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with small gold clusters (Au(n), n = 3, 5) inserted in their interstitial spaces. We find that gold clusters spontaneously evolve to form atomic chains along the axis of nanotubes and induce weak metallicity in the semiconducting nanotube...
