EXAFS investigations of iodine-doped carbon nanotubes

Raman spectroscopy of iodine-doped double-walled carbon nanotubes

We present a Raman spectroscopy study of iodine-intercalated (p-type doped) double-walled carbon nanotubes. Double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) are synthesized by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) and characterized by Raman spectroscopy. The assignment of the radial breathing modes and the tangential modes of pristine DWCNTs is done in the framework of the bond polarization theory,...

Structural selective charge transfer in iodine-doped carbon nanotubes

We have investigated iodine intercalated carbon nanostructures by extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and Raman spectroscopies. We discuss here the charge transfer and the iodine–carbon interaction as a function of the carbon nanostructures (graphite, multiwalled, double-walled and single walled nanotubes). The results show that iodine is weakly adsorbed on the surface of all multi...

Metallic Nanoscale Fibers from Stable Iodine-Doped Carbon Nanotubes

Fractional Flux Periodicity in doped carbon nanotubes

Weak backscattering in deflected doped carbon nanotubes.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are highly sensitive towards dipole molecules, mechanical loads, interfacial contacts, chemical modifications and temperature fluctuations. Their applications are currently limited to electron-field-emission and gas-sensing devices. In fact, CNTs can also be used as strain-sensing elements; for example, variations in CNT resistance with bending strain have been character...
