Phonon drag effect in single-walled carbon nanotubes
نویسندگان
چکیده
A variational solution of the coupled electron-phonon Boltzmann equations is used to calculate the phonon drag contribution to the thermopower in a one-dimensional system. A simple formula is derived for the temperature dependence of the phonon drag in metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes. Scattering between different electronic bands yields nonzero values for the phonon drag as the Fermi level varies.

High frequency performance of individual and arrays of single-walled carbon nanotubes.
We have studied the high frequency performance limits of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) transistors in the diffusive transport regime limited by the acoustic phonon scattering. The relativistic band structure of single-walled carbon nanotubes combined with the acoustic phonon scattering provides an analytical model for the charge transport of the radio frequency transistors. We were able...

In this paper, we have used density functional perturbation theory (DFPT) and Pseudo-potential method to calculate the phonon spectrum, phonon density of states (DOS), specific heat capacity and mechanical properties of (5,5) armchair and (9,0) zigzag Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs). Our calculations show that Young’s modulusfor (5,5) and (9,0) nanotubesare higher than 1TPa. We have also ...

Micro-Raman spectra of single-walled carbon nanotubes in the range of two-phonon 2D bands are investigated in detail. The fine structure of two-phonon 2D bands in the low-temperature Raman spectra of the mixture and individual single-walled carbon nanotubes is considered as the reflection of structure of their π-electron zones. The dispersion behavior of 2D band fine structure components in the...

Photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectroscopy of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) has been extensively studied for characterization of their unique electronic properties due to the one-dimensionality. The precise evaluation of exciton transition energy is essential for experimental assignments of optical absorption, photoluminescence, and resonant Raman scatterings. Here, several experi...
متن کاملDiffusive-Ballistic Heat Conduction of Carbon Nanotubes and Nanographene Ribbons
Investigations of diffusive-ballistic heat conduction of finite-length single-walled carbon nanotubes and nanographene ribbons at room temperature have been carried out by using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The length dependences of thermal conductivity reveal the variation of the balance between ballistic and diffusive heat conduction. For both systems, the profile indicates ...
