Single-wall Carbon Nanotubes: Quantum Carbon Wires
نویسندگان
چکیده
Today’s business environment is causing utilities to examine methods to cut costs and to maximize revenues. Development of a comprehensive program for marketing and utilization* of coal combustion by-products (CCBPs) by a utility can generate additional revenue streams; reduce operating costs at plants; and defer capital costs of developing new waste disposal capacity. These factors can be optimized to help utilities to be more competitive in today’s environment of cost-cutting. However, a comprehensive program should consider not only the benefits of the program but also factors such as: an environmental review process; development of a technical data base; the risks of marketing CCBPs for certain applications such as hazardous waste stabilization; market research; educational programs for internal and external customers; and how to define costs and how to structure contracts.

Multiprobe Transport Experiments on Individual Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes
Deposition of individual single-wall carbon nanotubes over multiple (up to seven) Pt nanoelectrodes is realized. Two-probe and four-probe transport measurements between adjacent pairs of electrodes show similar but not identical single-electron Coulomb charging signatures at low temperatures. The observations indicate that nanotubes can behave as a chain of quantum wires connected in series. We...

Carbon nanoscrolls (CNSs) belong to the same class of carbon-based nanomaterialsas carbon nanotubes. As a new category of quasi one dimensional material Graphene Nanoscroll (GNS) has captivated the researchers recently because of its exceptional electronic properties like having large carrier mobility. GNS shape has open edges and no caps unlike Single Wall Nanotubes (SWNTs) which are wou...
متن کاملThe Attitude of Variation of Elastic Modules in Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes: Nonlinear Mass-Spring Model
The examination of variation of elastic modules in single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is the aim of this paper. Full nonlinear spring-like elements are employed to simulate specific atomic structures in the commercial code ABAQUS. Carbon atoms are attached to each node as a mass point using atomic mass of carbon atoms. The influence of dimensions such as variation of length, diameter, aspect...
متن کاملAvalanche-induced current enhancement in semiconducting carbon nanotubes.
Semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes under high electric field stress ( approximately 10 V/mum) display a remarkable current increase due to avalanche generation of free electrons and holes. Unlike other materials, the avalanche process in such 1D quantum wires involves access to the third subband and is insensitive to temperature but strongly dependent on diameter approximately exp(-1/d...

The effective parameters of (5, 0) and (5, 5) single-wall carbon nanotubes during the interaction with carbon dioxide as sensors are determined. The interaction of carbon dioxide molecules with internal and external walls of the nanotubes is studied using Gaussian 03 coding by density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-311G level of theory. CO2 rotation around tube axles vertically and par...
