Removal of Metallic Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Using Molecular Glass Thin Films
1. INTRODUCTION Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are a promising material for next generation field-effect transistors (FETs) [1]. It is one of the most important requirements to obtain purely semiconducting SWNT arrays. Recently, Jin et al. [2] have reported a method to selectively remove metallic SWNTs over the whole length by using thermocapillary flows of organic thin films. Here, we ...
متن کاملLaser-induced nanoscale thermocapillary flow for purification of aligned arrays of single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Although aligned arrays of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have outstanding potential for use in broad classes of advanced semiconductor devices, the relatively large population of metallic SWNTs (m-SWNTs) that results from conventional growth techniques leads to significantly degraded performance. Recently reported methods based on thermocapillary effects that enable removal of m-SWNTs ...
