We demonstrate the controlled desorption of adventitious dopants on networks of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with 100 keV proton irradiation. Networks of sorted metallic, semiconducting SWNTs, and unsorted SWNTs were investigated. The removal of dopants was indicated by an increase in sheet resistances along with an increase in the absorption of the low energy absorption band of semiconducting SWNTs. Semiconducting and unsorted SWNT networks exhibited the largest change in their sheet resistance, which indicates the conductivity of unsorted SWNT networks is dominated by the tube-tube junctions of semiconducting SWNTs.
