Book excerpt: Since their discovery more than a decade ago, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have held scientists and engineers in captive fascination, seated on the verge of enormous breakthroughs in areas such as medicine, electronics, and materials science, to name but a few. Taking a broad look at CNTs and the tools used to study them, Carbon Nanotubes: Properties and Applications comprises the efforts of leading nanotube researchers led by Michael O’Connell, protégé of the late father of nanotechnology, Richard Smalley. Each chapter is a self-contained treatise on various aspects of CNT synthesis, characterization, modification, and applications. The book opens with a general introduction to the basic characteristics and the history of CNTs, followed by discussions on synthesis methods and the growth of “peapod” structures. Coverage then moves to electronic properties and band structures of single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs), magnetic properties, Raman spectroscopy of electronic and chemical behavior, and electromechanical properties and applications in NEMS (nanoelectromechanical systems). Turning to applications, the final sections of the book explore mechanical properties of SWNTs spun into fibers, sidewall functionalization in composites, and using SWNTs as tips for scanning probe microscopes. Taking a fresh look at this burgeoning field, Carbon Nanotubes: Properties and Applications points the way toward making CNTs commercially viable.

Download or read book Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes written by Yan Li and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-16 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The series Topics in Current Chemistry Collections presents critical reviews from the journal Topics in Current Chemistry organized in topical volumes. The scope of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science. The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience. Each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended to be an exhaustive summary of the field or include large quantities of data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist reader to understand the information presented. Contributions also offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon nanotubes belong to new nanomaterials and have been known for almost 20 years, but their history is somewhat lengthier. They have been identified as promising candidates for various applications.High-temperature preparation techniques are conventional techniques for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes using arc discharge or laser ablation, but today these methods are being replaced by low-temperature vapor deposition techniques, since orientation, alignment, nanotube length, diameter, purity, and density of carbon nanotubes can be precisely controlled. The synthesis of carbon nanotubes by chemical vapor deposition on catalyst arrays leads to nanotube models grown from specific sites on surfaces. The controlled synthesis of nanotubes opens up interesting possibilities in nanoscience and nanotechnologies, including electrical, mechanical and electromechanical properties and devices, chemical functionalization, surface chemistry and photochemistry, molecular sensors, and interfacing with moderate biological systems.Carbon nanotubes are used in many applications due to their unique electrical, mechanical, optical, thermal, and other properties. Conductive and high-strength composite materials, energy saving and energy conversion devices, sensors, visualization of field emissions and sources of radiation, means for storing hydrogen, and nanoscale semiconductor devices, probes, and interconnections are some of the many applications of carbon nanotubes.

Download or read book Synthesis And Characterization Of Silicon Doped Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes written by John Slimak and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silicon doping of carbon nanotubes produces an isovalent structure, unlike that of similar boron or nitrogen doped tubes which display p- and n- characteristics, and causes unique structural changes to the nanotubes, altering the properties of both single tubes and bulk materials. Silicon doped single-walled nanotubes were prepared by chemical vapor deposition of ethanol vapor with catalytic ferrocene and methoxytrimethylsilane dopant. The material was characterized by Raman spectroscopy to determine the success of the synthesis and also to probe the diameter of the nanotubes; the presence of subsitutional silicon atoms in the nanotube lattice create a preference for lower diameter tubes, a change that is easily observable through the radial breathing mode of the doped nanotubes.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled ELECTRONIC CHARACTERIZATION OF INDIVIDUAL SINGLE-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES Submitted by Wong Chi Yan for the Degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in September 2007 The outstanding properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted con- siderable research effort in the last decade. CNTs are quasi-one-dimensional materials which can be used to study fundamental quantum effects of one- dimensional systems. TherehasbeenagreatdealofinterestspecificallyinsemiconductingCNTs, which have shown to be promising candidates as the building blocks for the next-generation electronic applications. Carbon nanotube electronic devices have the potential to replace conventional silicon-based counterparts. How- ever, there are still obstacles that remain with regard to the scientific study or application oriented researches. For example, the growth orientation and the band gaps of individual CNTs are difficult to control. In addition, pronounced low-frequency current fluctuation, 1/f noise, exists. The measured noise levelisevencomparabletothesignallevelundersomecircumstances, therebylimit- ing the application of CNTs in low-signal electronics and the overall reliability of CNT based devices. In this thesis, single-walled CNTs (SWNTs) were chosen as a studying modelduetotheirsimplicityinnature. DifferentmethodsofindividualSWNT fieldeffecttransistor(FET)fabricationmethodswerecompared. Themethods included: (I) Directed growth of ultra long SWNTs on a wafer by CVD using ethanol, and (II) Dispersing the SWNTs fabricated by ordinary CVD, on the wafer with organic solvents. The noise behavior for both fabrication methods were characterized by DAQ and lock-in noise measurement methods. Thereafter, thebasicI-V measurementsoffabricatedSWNTFETdevices were also performed. The hysteresis effect and its time dependent measure- ments in FETs were illustrated. The measurements results suggested that the hysteresis effect in nanotube devices was attributed to the charge traps in the oxide layer of FETs. Finally, the 1/f noise of SWNT FETs was studied. It was shown that the 1/f noise arose from the carrier number fluctuations rather than mobility fluctuations, as a superposition of Lorentzian fluctuation spectra. The corre- -2 sponding Hooge constant was found to be gate dependent and about 10 in thelinearregime. Bycomparingwiththereportedsimulationresultofrandom telegraphsignal(RTS)noiseamplitudeinsubthresholdregime, itwasproposed that such Lorentzian fluctuation spectra were due to the RTS noise, arising from the gate potential fluctuations in the CNT, and the charge exchange be- tween CNT and oxide layer. These potential fluctuations were attributed to trapped charges in the oxide nearby which changed the number of carriers in the CNTs.
