Force- and light-controlled electrical transport characteristics of carbon nanotube 1D/2D bulk junctions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pure carbon bulk junctions are fabricated based on carbon nanotube (CNT) macrostructures and their electrical transport characteristics are investigated. The planar 1D/2D strand-on-film (SOF) junctions show interesting forceand light-controlled transport behaviors. Considering the excellent chemical stability and good mechanical properties (strength, hardness and elasticity) of CNTs, the SOF junctions could find practical and wide applications in electromechanical and optoelectronic devices. 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Electrical transport through carbon nanotube junctions created by mechanical manipulation
Using an atomic force microscope we have created nanotube junctions such as buckles and crossings within individual single-wall metallic carbon nanotubes connected to metallic electrodes. The electronic transport properties of these manipulated structures show that they form electronic tunnel junctions. The conductance shows power-law behavior as a function of bias voltage and temperature, whic...

Polycrystalline ceramic/single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) composites possess unique grain boundaries, containing 1D tortuous SWNTs bundles that form 2D tangled embedded nets. This unprecedented grain-boundary structure allows tailoring of multifunctional ceramic/SWNTs composites with unique combinations of desirable mechanical (toughness, strength, creep) and transport (electrical, thermal) ...

متن کاملDynamics of one-dimensional and two-dimensional helium adsorbed on carbon nanotubes
We present inelastic neutron scattering measurements of the dynamics of helium adsorbed on carbon nanotube bundles. The goal is to determine the vibrational properties of the 1D and 2D quantum solids that are stabilized on the nanotube bundle surfaces at different fillings of He. The mean square vibrational amplitude in the 1D solid is large with a Lindemann ratio of γ1D = (〈u〉)/a1 = 0.25 compa...
