Local opening of a large bandgap in metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes induced by tunnel injection of low-energy electrons

Journal Article Yamada, Kenta ; Sato, Hiroaki ; Komaguchi, Tetsuya ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Probing with a tip of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) was found to induce defects in the tubes. The primary defect formation by probing was enhanced with a rate proportional to tunnel-injected electron current above a sample-bias threshold of around +4 V. Scanning tunneling spectroscopic measurements of local density of states revealed that the defects imaged by STM, presumably secondary defects stabilized at the test temperature (95 K), are accompanied by a localized bandgap of 0.7 eV, which may account for the reported metal-semiconductor conversion in SWCNT-based field-effect transistor that is induced by low-energy electronmore » irradiation.« less

Mechanism of metal-semiconductor transition in electric properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes induced by low-energy electron irradiation

Journal Article Kanzaki, Kenichi ; Suzuki, Satoru ; Inokawa, Hiroshi ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Low-energy electron irradiation causes damage in single-walled carbon nanotubes and changes the electric behavior of a nanotube field-effect transistor from metallic to semiconducting at low temperature. The irradiation damage was found to form an energy barrier of several 10 meV in the nanotube channel. We show that the transition behavior can be reasonably explained by the barrier formation and gate-induced band bending.

Electronic transport in biphenyl single-molecule junctions with carbon nanotubes electrodes: The role of molecular conformation and chirality

Journal Article Brito Silva, Jr, C A ; Granhen, E R ; Silva, S. J. S. da ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We investigate, by means of ab initio calculations, electronic transport in molecular junctions composed of a biphenyl molecule attached to metallic carbon nanotubes. We find that the conductance is proportional to cos{sup 2} {theta}, with {theta} the angle between phenyl rings, when the Fermi level of the contacts lies within the frontier molecular orbitals energy gap. This result, which agrees with experiments in biphenyl junctions with nonorganic contacts, suggests that the cos{sup 2} {theta} law has a more general applicability, irrespective of the nature of the electrodes. We calculate the geometrical degree of chirality of the junction, which only dependsmore »« less

Electronic transport in oligo-para-phenylene junctions attached to carbon nanotube electrodes: Transition-voltage spectroscopy and chirality

Journal Article Brito Silva, Jr, C A ; Faculdade de Ciencias Naturais, Universidade Federal do Para, 68800-000, Breves, PA ; Silva, S. J. S. da ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We have investigated, by means of a nonequilibrium Green's function method coupled to density functional theory, the electronic transport properties of molecular junctions composed of oligo-para-phenylene (with two, three, four, and five phenyl rings) covalently bridging the gap between metallic carbon nanotubes electrodes. We have found that the current is strongly correlated to a purely geometrical chiral parameter, both on-resonance and off-resonance. The Fowler-Nordheim plot exhibits minima, V{sub min}, that occur whenever the tail of a resonant transmission peak enters in the bias window. This result corroborates the scenario in which the coherent transport model gives the correct interpretation tomore »« less

Probing electrical transport in individual carbon nanotubes and junctions

Journal Article Li, An-Ping ; Kim, Tae Hwan ; Wendelken, J F ; ... - Nanotechnology

The electrical transport properties of individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and multi-terminal junctions of CNTs are investigated with a quadraprobe scanning tunneling microscope. The CNTs are made of herringbone-type stacking graphite sheets with 20 a-angle to the tube axis, and the CNT junctions are free from catalytic particles in the junction areas. The CNTs have a significantly higher resistivity than conventional CNTs with concentric walls. The straight CNTs display linear current-voltage (I-V) characteristics, indicating diffusive transport rather than ballistic transport. The structural deformation in CNTs with bends substantially increases the resistivity in comparison with the straight segments on the same CNTs,more »« less
