This work represents the first electro-thermal study of metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) for interconnect applications. Experimental data and careful modeling reveal that self-heating is of significance in short (1 < L < 10 um)…
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with Adaptive Intermolecular Reactive Empirical Bond Order (AIREBO) force fields were conducted to determine the transversely isotropic elastic properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) containing vacancies.…
Three-terminal devices with conduction channels formed by quasi-metallic carbon nanotubes (CNT) are shown to operate as nanotube-based field-effect transistors under strong magnetic fields. The off-state conductance of the devices varies…
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) hold enormous technological promise. It can only be harnessed if one controls in a practical way the CNT chirality, the feature of the tubular carbon topology that governs all the CNT properties---electronic, optical,…
