Chemically induced conductance switching in carbon nanotube circuits.
The chemical reactivity of carbon nanotubes in H2SO4 is investigated using individual, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) incorporated into electronic devices. Exploiting the device conductance as a sensitive indicator of chemical reactions, discrete oxidation and reduction events can be clearly observed. During oxidation, a SWNT opens circuits to a nanometer-scale tunnel junction with resi...
متن کاملCharge transfer induced polarity switching in carbon nanotube transistors.
We probed the charge transfer interaction between the amine-containing molecules hydrazine, polyaniline, and aminobutyl phosphonic acid and carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNTFETs). We successfully converted p-type CNTFETs to n-type and drastically improved the device performance in both the ON- and OFF-transistor states, utilizing hydrazine as dopant. We effectively switched the tran...
متن کاملChemically driven carbon-nanotube-guided thermopower waves.
Theoretical calculations predict that by coupling an exothermic chemical reaction with a nanotube or nanowire possessing a high axial thermal conductivity, a self-propagating reactive wave can be driven along its length. Herein, such waves are realized using a 7-nm cyclotrimethylene trinitramine annular shell around a multiwalled carbon nanotube and are amplified by more than 10(4) times the bu...
متن کاملConductance Through a Bent Carbon Nanotube
In this thesis a theoretical expression for the conductance through a bent nanotube is derived. The idea is inspired by a recent work by K. Flensberg and C. Markus, in which bent nanotubes are shown to be a prominent candidate for qubit realization [1]. An approximate Hamiltonian for graphene in the vicinity of the high-symmetry K(K′)-points is developed from the tightbinding model. An extensio...
متن کاملConductance switching in diarylethenes bridging carbon nanotubes.
The recently reported photoswitching of diarylethene derivative molecules bridging carbon nanotube (CNT) contacts is theoretically analyzed. The short lifetime of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) indicates that neither the open nor closed form of the molecule can be photoexcited into a charge-neutral excited state for any appreciable length of time preventing photochromic ring ope...
