Electrical measurements of individual semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes of various diameters
نویسندگان
چکیده
Individual semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes ~SWNTs! of various diameters are studied by electrical measurements. Transport through a semiconducting SWNT involves thermal activation at high temperatures, and tunneling through a reverse biased metal–tube junction at low temperatures. Under high bias voltages, current–voltage (I – V) characteristics of semiconducting SWNTs exhibit pronounced asymmetry with respect to the bias polarity, as a result of local gating. SWNT transistors that mimic conventional p-metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor with similar I – V characteristics and high transconductance are enabled. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~00!04612-X#

Theoretical insights into the encapsulation of anticancer Oxaliplatin drug into single walled carbon nanotubes
The present work was an attempt to evaluate the potentialities of using SWCNTs as nanovectors for drug delivery of anticancer drug Oxaliplatin. First-principles van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF) calculations are used to investigate the incorporation of oxaliplatin inside the typical semiconducting and metallic single wall carbon nanotubes with various diameters (SWCNTs). Adsorption ener...
متن کاملIntrinsic electrical properties of individual single-walled carbon nanotubes with small band gaps
Individual single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) exhibiting small band gaps on the order of 10 meV are observed for the first time in electron transport measurements. Transport through the valence or conduction band of a small-gap semiconducting SWNT (SGS-SWNT) can be tuned by a nearby gate voltage. Intrinsic electrical properties of the Ohmically contacted SGS-SWNT are elucidated. An SGS-SWNT ...
متن کاملElectronic Raman Scattering On Individual Semiconducting Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes
We report experimental measurements of electronic Raman scattering by electrons (holes) in individual single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) under resonant conditions. The Raman scattering at low frequency range reveals a single particle excitation feature. And the dispersion of electronic structure around the center of Brillouin zone of a semiconducting SWNT (14, 13) is extracted.
متن کاملOn the origin of preferential growth of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes.
A correlation is observed between the diameters (d) of single-walled carbon nanotubes and the percentages of metallic and semiconducting tubes synthesized at 600 degrees C by plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition. Small tubes (d approximately 1.1 nm) show semiconductor percentages that are much higher than expected for a random chirality distribution. Density functional theory calculations ...
متن کاملRaman study of individually dispersed single-walled carbon nanotubes under pressure
We report the resonant Raman spectra of individualized =debundled single-walled carbon nanotubes SWNTs having diameters d 0.8–1.3 nm subject to compression up to 10.5 GPa. Both SWNTs in watersurfactant dispersions as well as SWNTs deposited onto glass microfibers and compressed with methanolethanol were studied. In the low pressure regime 1 GPa , linear and reversible up-shifts of the Raman ban...
