متن کاملBand gap fluorescence from individual single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Fluorescence has been observed directly across the band gap of semiconducting carbon nanotubes. We obtained individual nanotubes, each encased in a cylindrical micelle, by ultrasonically agitating an aqueous dispersion of raw single-walled carbon nanotubes in sodium dodecyl sulfate and then centrifuging to remove tube bundles, ropes, and residual catalyst. Aggregation of nanotubes into bundles ...
متن کاملTransient deformation regime in bending of single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Pure bending of single-walled carbon nanotubes between (5,5) and (50,50) is studied using molecular dynamics based on the reactive bond order potential. Unlike smaller nanotubes, bending of (15,15) and larger ones exhibits an intermediate deformation in the transition between the buckled and fully kinked configurations. This transient bending regime is characterized by a gradual and controllabl...
متن کاملTheoretical analysis on electronic properties of zigzag-type single-walled carbon nanotubes under radial deformation
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been attracting attention because they have characteristic mechanical and electronic properties. It has been reported that single-walled CNTs can induce large deformation without bond breaking. Therefore, it is of interest to elucidate the electronic properties of CNTs under large deformation. We investigate the deformation behavior and the change in the electronic ...
متن کاملSingle - Walled 4 . Single - Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are hollow, long cylinders with extremely large aspect ratios, made of one atomic sheet of carbon atoms in a honeycomb lattice. They possess extraordinary thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties and are considered as one of the most promising nanomaterials for applications and basic research. This chapter describes the structural, electronic, vibra...
