Spectrum and Franck–Condon factors of interacting suspended single-wall carbon nanotubes
A low-energy theory of suspended carbon nanotube quantum dots in weak tunnelling coupling with metallic leads is presented. The focus is on the dependence of the spectrum and the Franck–Condon factors on the geometry of the junction including several vibronic modes. The relative size and the relative position of the dot and its associated vibrons strongly influence the electromechanical propert...
متن کاملElectron-vibron coupling in suspended carbon nanotube quantum dots
Motivated by recent experiments, we investigate the electron-vibron coupling in suspended carbon nanotube quantum dots, starting with the electron-phonon coupling of the underlying graphene layer. We show that the coupling strength depends sensitively on the type of vibron and is strongly sample dependent. The coupling strength becomes particularly strong when inhomogeneity-induced electronic q...
متن کاملTunneling in suspended carbon nanotubes assisted by longitudinal phonons.
Current-voltage characteristics of suspended single-wall carbon nanotube quantum dots show a series of steps equally spaced in voltage. The energy scale of this harmonic, low-energy excitation spectrum is consistent with that of the longitudinal low-k phonon mode (stretching mode) in the nanotube. Agreement is found with a Franck-Condon-based model in which the phonon-assisted tunneling process...
متن کاملCalculation of Franck-Condon Factors for a Number of Band Systems of Diatomic Molecules Using Hua Potential
This work deals with the calculation of Franck-Condon factors using Hua potential function for the first time. The advantages of this function have been mentioned, and the numerical methods are used to obtain Franck-Condon factors for the following band systems: Agreement between the values of this work and those obtained from other works is quite good that verifies the reliability...
متن کاملHigh temperature acidic oxidation of multiwalled Carbon nanotubes and synthesis of Graphene quantum dots
The acid oxidation of carbon nanotube generally results in opening the close ends of the nanotube and to make surface modifications. Herewith, Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were oxidized in acids at high temperature experimental conditions which led to the formation of graphene quantum dots (GQDs). High resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectro...
