Transition from a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid to a fermi liquid in potassium-intercalated bundles of single-wall carbon nanotubes.
We report on the first direct observation of a transition from a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid to a Fermi-liquid behavior in potassium-intercalated mats of single-wall carbon nanotubes. Using high resolution photoemission spectroscopy, an analysis of the spectral shape near the Fermi level reveals a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid power law scaling in the density of states for the pristine sample and for...
متن کاملMetal-semiconductor transition like behavior of naphthalene-doped single wall carbon nanotube bundles.
Naphthalene (N) or naphthalene-derivative (ND) adsorption-treatment evidently varies the electrical conductivity of single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) bundles over a wide temperature range due to a charge-transfer interaction. The adsorption treatment of SWCNTs with dinitronaphthalene molecules enhances the electrical conductivity of the SWCNT bundles by 50 times. The temperature dependence of...
متن کاملVisible fluorescence induced by the metal semiconductor transition in composites of carbon nanotubes with noble metal nanoparticles.
We show that single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) bundles emit visible fluorescence in the presence of noble metal nanoparticles and nanorods in the solid state. Conductivity measurements with metallic nanotubes, isolated from pristine SWNTs, show that they become semiconducting in the presence of the metal nanoparticles. Nanoparticle binding increases the defects in the nanotube structures whi...
متن کاملTransport properties of alkali-metal-doped single-wall carbon nanotubes
We report in situ measurements of four-probe dc resistance ~R! and thermopower ~S! of Csand K-doped single-wall carbon nanotube ~SWNT! mats as a function of a doping and temperature ~T!. With increasing dopant exposure, the mat resistance has been found to first decrease and then increase, exhibiting a minimum for optimal Cs doping. In contrast, for K doping, the mat resistance decreased monoto...
متن کاملAlkaline metal-doped n-type semiconducting nanotubes as quantum dots
A 0.4 mm long semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotube is doped into n type by potassium ~K! vapor. Electrical measurements of the doped nanotube reveal single-electron charging at temperatures up to 160 K. The K-doped sample manifests as a single quantum dot or multiple quantum dots in series depending on the range of applied gate voltage. This is explained by an inhomogeneous doping profi...
