Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) are one of the most important materials in nanotechnology. In some of their technological applications (electromechanical oscillators and mechanical actuators for artificial muscles, for instance), it is necessary to…

We have observed the S- and Q-branch Raman spectra of H2, HD, and D2 adsorbed at 85K and pressures up to 8 atm on single-walled, carbon nanotubes (SWNT). Comparative data for H2 on graphite and C60 were also collected. For each adsorbate,…

The capabilities of the mechanical resonator-based nanosensors in detecting ultra-small mass or force shifts have driven a continuing exploration of the palette of nanomaterials for such application purpose. Based on large-scale molecular…

High performance enhancement mode semiconducting carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs) are obtained by combining ohmic metal-tube contacts, high dielectric constant HfO2 films as gate insulators, and electrostatically doped…

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are nonlinear high-Q resonators with strong coupling to single-electron tunneling. We begin by describing several methods to detect the flexural motion of a CNT resonator. Next, we illustrate how single-electron…

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been recently proposed as stabilizers against grain growth that can happen even at low temperature inputs in nano-crystalline and ultrafine-grained materials obtained by severe plastic deformation. In this study,…

We report here on electrical measurements on individual multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) that show that the presence or movement of impurities or defects in the carbon nanotube can radically change its low temperature transport…

Carbon nanotubes are quantum sources whose emission can be tuned at telecommunication wavelengths by choosing the diameter appropriately. Most applications require the smallest possible linewidth. Therefore, the study of the underlying…

Transformation of carbon dioxide into carbon nanotubes, CNTs, by electrolysis in molten carbonates provides a low cost route to extract and store this greenhouse gas. CNTs are more stable, compact and valuable than fuels or other CO2…
