Controlling supercurrents using single-walled carbon nanotube weak links
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have investigated proximity-induced supercurrents in single-walled carbon nanotubes. Phase diffusion is found to be present in the maximum measured supercurrent of 4.8 nA, which results in a minimum of 100Ω zero bias resistance in superconducting state. We also observe that the supercurrent is very sensitive to the measurement bandwidth and large phase fluctuations can even destroy the supercurrents. Our results shed light on the methods of how to improve the performance of high frequency superconducting single-walled nanotube devices.

Modeling of the adsorption kinetics of Basic Red 46 on single-walled carbon nanotube and carboxylate group functionalized single-walled carbon nanotube
The present study was carried out to investigate the potential of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNTs) and carboxylate group functionalized single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT-COOH) as alternative adsorbents for the removal of Basic Red 46 (BR 46) from contaminated water by using batch adsorption studies. Effects of some key operating parameters such as pH, ionic strength and contact time on...

In this paper, an elastic shell model is presented for postbuckling prediction of a long thinwalledcylindrical shell under axial compression. The Ritz method is applied to solve the governingequilibrium equation of a cylindrical shell model based on the von-Karman type nonlinear differentialequations. The postbuckling equilibrium path is obtained using the energy method for a long thin-walledcy...
