Novel metastable metallic and semiconducting germaniums
Group-IVa elements silicon and germanium are known for their semiconducting properties at room temperature, which are technologically critical. Metallicity and superconductivity are found at higher pressures only, Ge β-tin (tI4) being the first high-pressure metallic phase in the phase diagram. However, recent experiments suggest that metallicity in germanium is compatible with room conditions,...
متن کاملDispersion of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes by Density Gradient Ultracentrifugation
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been of interest for their unique material properties. Their high thermal and electrical conductivity, metallic or semiconducting nature, as well as chemically stable structure make them ideal for numerous applications. However, development of potential applications has been limited due to the inability to consistently separate SWNTs by chirality, dia...
متن کاملVectorial Growth of Metallic and Semiconducting Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes
A new approach for vectorial growth of single-wall carbon nanotube arrays is presented. The origin of growth is defined by patterning the catalyst nanoparticles, while the direction of growth is defined by a local electric field parallel to the substrate. Statistical analysis of the nanotube angular distribution indicates that field-directed growth can discriminate between metallic and semicond...
متن کاملMagnetic nanoparticle-based separation of metallic and semiconducting carbon nanotubes.
We report a simple and scalable method for the separation of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) from metallic SWNTs using magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) functionalized with polycationic tri-aminated polysorbate 80 (TP80). MNPs-TP80 are selectively adsorbed on acid-treated semiconducting SWNTs, which makes the semiconducting SWNTs be highly concentrated to over 95% under a magn...
متن کاملPolarization-sensitive optical phenomena in semiconducting and metallic nanowires
An analysis is presented of optical absorption and emission in semiconducting, metallic, and mixed coreshell nanowires are considered theoretically. Due to image forces caused by the difference in dielectric constants between nanowires and their environment, absorption and emission coefficients are different for light polarized parallel or perpendicular to the nanowire axis. As a result, the in...
