AOT dispersed single-walled carbon nanotubes for transistor device application
نویسندگان
چکیده
The precise placement of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in device configurations has been accomplished by AC dielectrophoresis using a biomimetic surfactant, dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate (i.e. AOT) dispersed SWNTs. To better serve the utilization of SWNTs/AOT for device fabrication, the dispersion of SWNTs in AOT aqueous solutions was investigated at different micellar concentrations and compared with other surfactants. UV–Vis–NIR spectroscopy and AFM microscopy have been employed to characterize solubilized individual SWNTs. Additionally, dispersed solution has been utilized to align SWNTs in field-effect transistor geometrics. We have ascertained that the AOT isolated individual tubes, well-protected from breakdown during sonication, are good candidates for device applications. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Carrier transport properties in single-walled carbon nanotubes studied by photoluminescence spectroscopy
We have investigated the photoluminescence (PL) of in individual single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) placed in field-effect transistor structures to study carrier transport in the SWNT. The relation between the recombination lifetime and carrier transit time has been evaluated from the drain-field dependence of PL intensity. Time-resolved photoluminescence of SWNTs dispersed in surfactant so...

We have developed a surface potential based compact model for the single-walled semiconductor CNT field effect transistor (CNT-FET) shown in Figure 1. Our compact modeling results for surface potential, channel charge, gate capacitance and channel current are shown in Figures 2-5 respectively. The model comparison is done using the numerical results of [1-4]. The compact model is developed for ...

The rediscovery and the memory application of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) give a new method in nanoelectronics applications. At first we will report the memory effects of a SWNT, and attempt to use this property in a memory device. To use a SWNT field effect transistor (FET) as a charge-storage memory device, the device operates by injecting electrons from the nanotube channel of a T...

This communication reports on the novel work of creating a transistor channel based on functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) via electrostatic atomization deposition. The current method of drop-cast though convenient was unable to produce replicable transistor device due to its inherent inability in controlling the volume of liquid being drop-cast. Hence, this method of electros...
متن کاملUniform directional alignment of single-walled carbon nanotubes in viscous polymer flow.
In this work, we probed the effects of shear flow on the alignment of dispersed single-walled carbon nanotubes in polymer solutions. Two different systems were compared: Single-walled carbon nanotubes dispersed using an anionic surfactant and single-walled carbon nanotubes dispersed using an anionic surfactant and a weakly binding polymer. It was determined that the addition of the weakly bindi...
