Macroscopic yarns of FeCl3-intercalated collapsed carbon nanotubes with high doping and stability

چکیده

Macroscopic arrays of highly-crystalline nanocarbons offer the possibility modifying electronic structure their low dimensional constituents, for example through doping, and studying resulting collective bulk behaviour. Insertion electron donors or acceptors between graphitic layers is an attractive method to reversibly increase charge carrier concentration without disruption sp2-conjugated system. This work demonstrates FeCl3 intercalation into fibres made up collapsed (flattened) carbon nanotubes. The bundles CNTs, similar crystallites nanoribbons, host elongated layered crystals hundreds nm long, much longer than previous reports on materials directly observable by transmission microscopy X-ray diffraction. Intercalated CNT remain stable after months exposure ambient conditions, partly due spontaneous formation passivating monolayers FeClO at crystal edge, preventing both desorption intercalant further hydrolysis. Raman spectroscopy shows substantial transfer from CNTs FeCl3, a well-known acceptor, as observed G band upshifts large 25 cm?1. After resolving features inner outer strain dynamic effect contributions upshift could be decoupled, giving Fermi level downshift ?0.72 eV average free 5.3·1013 cm?2 (0.014 electrons per atom) in intercalated Four-probe resistivity measurements show conductivity factor six upon intercalation.

Unforeseen high temperature and humidity stability of FeCl3 intercalated few layer graphene

We present the first systematic study of the stability of the structure and electrical properties of FeCl3 intercalated few-layer graphene to high levels of humidity and high temperature. Complementary experimental techniques such as electrical transport, high resolution transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy conclusively demonstrate the unforseen stability of this transparent ...

Composite yarns of multiwalled carbon nanotubes with metallic electrical conductivity.

Unique macrostructures known as spun carbon-nanotube fibers (CNT yarns) can be manufactured from vertically aligned forests of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). These yarns behave as semiconductors with room-temperature conductivities of about 5 x 10(2) S cm(-1). Their potential use as, for example, microelectrodes in medical implants, wires in microelectronics, or lightweight conductors i...

Doping and phonon renormalization in carbon nanotubes.

We show that the Raman frequency associated with the vibrational mode at approximately 1,580 cm(-1) (the G mode) in both metallic and semiconducting carbon nanotubes shifts in response to changes in the charge density induced by an external gate field. These changes in the Raman spectra provide us with a powerful tool for probing local doping in carbon nanotubes in electronic device structures,...
