We derived the analytic solution of induced electrostatic potential along single wall carbon nanotubes. Under the hypothesis of constant density of states in the charge-neutral level, we are able to obtain the linear density of excess…

We study theoretically the charge separation in a planar array of semiconducting nanotubes (NTs) of length, 2h, placed in external electric field, F, parallel to their axes. By employing the conformal mapping, we find analytically the exact…

How carbon nanotubes behave in an external electric field? What will be the relation between the intensity of the electric field and the tube's deformation? What are the geometry effects on the response of carbon nanotubes to electric…

In this letter, we demonstrate a strong dependence of the electrostatic deformation of doubly-clamped single-walled carbon nanotubes on both the field strength and the tube length, using molecular simulations. Metallic nanotubes are found…

We calculate the current and electrostatic potential drop in metallic carbon nanotube wires self-consistently, by solving the Green's function and electrostatics equations in the ballistic case. About one tenth of the applied voltage drops…

Electrostatic screening between carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in a small CNT bundle leads to a switching behavior induced by electric field perpendicular to the bundle axis. Using a first-principles method, we investigate the electronic…

Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors operate over a wide range of electron or hole density, controlled by the gate voltage. Here we calculate the mobility in semiconducting nanotubes as a function of carrier density and electric field,…

We observe the capture and field ionization of individual atoms near the side wall of a single suspended nanotube. Extremely large cross sections for ionization from an atomic beam are observed at modest voltages due to the nanotube's small…

A mechanically bistable single-walled carbon nanotube can act as a variable-shaped capacitor with a voltage-controlled transition between collapsed and inflated states. This external control parameter provides a means to tune the system so…
