Alignment enhanced photoconductivity in single wall carbon nanotube films.
In this paper we report, for the first time, the alignment enhanced photoconductivity of single wall carbon nanotube films upon laser illumination. The photoconductivity exhibited an increase, decrease or even 'negative' values when the laser spot was on different positions between contact electrodes, showing a 'position' dependent photoconductivity of partially aligned films of carbon nanotube...
متن کاملNoncontact-AFM imaging of molecular surfaces using single-wall carbon nanotube technology
Single-molecule imaging at nanometre resolution using noncontact AFM has been applied to image a protein complex on mica using single-wall carbon nanotube (CNT) technology. Hydrated RNA polymerase (RNAP)–DNA complex was imaged using constant-amplitude tapping mode AFM. CNT tips (1–2 nm diameter) prepared by chemical vapour phase deposition were mounted onto standard Pt/Ir coated AFM tips. The e...
متن کاملFormation of Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube Superbundles
Since their discovery in 1993,1,2 carbon single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs) have been of great interest because of their expected novel electronic,3 mechanical,4 and gas adsorption properties.5 Difficulties arise in measuring these various properties because the SWNTs currently available for analyses have very small bundle sizes (1020 nm) and are typically in random orientations. A vital step for th...
متن کاملViscoelasticity of single wall carbon nanotube suspensions.
We investigate the viscoelastic properties of an associating rigid rod network: aqueous suspensions of surfactant stabilized single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). The SWNT suspensions exhibit a rigidity percolation transition with an onset of solidlike elasticity at a volume fraction of 0.0026; the percolation exponent is 2.3+/-0.1. At large strain, the solidlike samples show volume fraction de...
متن کاملNovel polygonized single-wall carbon nanotube bundles.
We have synthesized novel crystalline ropes of "polygonized" single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The tubes exhibit rounded-hexagonal cross sections in contrast to the earlier observations of nearly circular tubes. To investigate the structural characteristics of the lattice of SWCNTs we have performed extensive molecular-dynamics simulations. We find several metastable structures of the latt...
