We report the direct observation of spin-singlet dark excitons in individual single-walled carbon nanotubes through low-temperature micro-magneto-photoluminescence spectroscopy. A magnetic field (B) applied along the tube axis brightened the dark state, leading to the emergence of a new emission peak. The peak rapidly grew in intensity with increasing B at the expense of the originally dominated bright exciton peak and became dominant at B>3 T. This behavior, universally observed for more than 50 tubes of different chiralities, can be quantitatively modeled by incorporating the Aharonov-Bohm effect and intervalley Coulomb mixing. The directly measured dark-bright splitting values were 1-4 meV for tube diameters 1.0-1.3 nm. Scatter in the splitting value emphasizes the role of the local environment surrounding a nanotube in determining its excitonic fine structure. 相似文献

Dependence of the electrical properties of defective single-walled carbon nanotubes on the vacancy density 下载免费PDF全文
The relationship between the electric properties and the vacancy density in single-walled carbon nanotubes has been investigated from first principles as well as the dependence of the influencing range of a vacancy in the nanotube on the nanotube chirality.Compared with the long-range interaction of the vacancies in a single-walled carbon nanotube with non-zero chiral angle,a much shorter interaction was found between vacancies in a zigzag single-walled carbon nanotube.In this study,we investigated the bandstructure fluctuations caused by the nanotube strain,which depends on both the vacancy density and the tube chirality.These theoretical results provide new insight to understand the relationship between the local deformation of a defective single-walled carbon nanotube and its measurable electronic properties. 相似文献

The contribution of electron-phonon scattering to conductivity of a quantum cylinder in a longitudinal magnetic field has
been studied. It has been shown that the conductivity of the nanotube undergoes Aharonov-Bohm oscillations with variations
in the magnetic flux through the nanotube cross section. The formulas describing the temperature dependence of the resistance
of the nanostructure both in the case of an isotropic phonon spectrum and with allowance for the effects of phonon confinement
have been obtained in the analytical form. 相似文献

The electron transport properties of well-contacted individual single-walled carbon nanotubes are investigated in the ballistic regime. Phase coherent transport and electron interference manifest as conductance fluctuations as a function of Fermi energy. Resonance with standing waves in finite-length tubes and localized states due to imperfections are observed for various Fermi energies. Two units of quantum conductance 2G(0) = 4e(2)/h are measured for the first time, corresponding to the maximum conductance limit for ballistic transport in two channels of a nanotube. 相似文献

Using the π orbital tight-binding model and the
multi-channel Laudauer-Büttiker formula, the combined effect of
Aharonov-Bohm effect (induced by an axial magnetic field) and uniaxial
strain on quantum conductance oscillations of the electronic Fabry-Perot
resonators composed of armchair and metallic zigzag single-walled carbon
nanotubes (SWNTs) has been studied. It is found that, for the case of the
armchair SWNT, conductance oscillations near the band gap are dominated by
Aharonov-Bohm effect, while the conductance oscillations in other regions
are dominated by the uniaxial strains. The combined effect of Aharonov-Bohm
effect and uniaxial strains on quantum conductance oscillations is not
obvious. But, for the case of the metallic zigzag SWNTs, obvious
single-channel transport and one or two conductance oscillations existing in
two different gate voltage ranges were found by the combined effect of
uniaxial strain and axial magnetic field. 相似文献

The conductivity of single-walled nanotube films is investigated with a combination of Maxwell–Garnett (MG) and Drude–Lorentzian (DL) model in terahertz region. A theoretical investigation for the recent experiment is given and a decrease of the real conductivity with increasing frequency is predicted. Meanwhile, the real part of dielectric function of single-walled carbon nanotube films is displayed. 相似文献

We have studied the property of single-walled ZnO nanotubes with adsorbed water molecules, and theoretically designed a new sensor for detecting water molecules using single-walled ZnO nanotubes using a combination of density functional theory and the non-equilibrium Green's function method. Details of the geometric structures and adsorption energies of the H2O molecules on the ZnO nanotube surface have been investigated. Our computational results demonstrate that the formation of hydrogen bonding between the H2O molecules and the ZnO nanotube, and adsorption energies of the H2O molecules on the ZnO nanotube are larger than the adsorption energies of other gas molecules present in the atmospheric environment. Moreover, the current-voltage curves of the ZnO nanotube with and without H2O molecules adsorbed on its surface are calculated, the results of which showed that the H2O molecules form stable adsorption configurations that could lead to the decrease in current. These results suggest that the single-walled ZnO nanotubes are able to detect and monitor the presence of H2O molecules by applying bias voltages. 相似文献

In this work we performed the filling of single-walled carbon nanotube channels with metallic silver and copper by means of two-step synthesis including imbuing with metal nitrate aqueous solution and further annealing. It has been shown that metal insertion into the nanotube cavities results in the Fermi level upshift and the charge transfer from metal to carbon atoms, thus donor doping of single-walled carbon nanotubes takes place. At the same time, encapsulated silver has a larger donor effect on the carbon nanotubes that has been proved by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. 相似文献

The physisorption of molecular hydrogen in BC3 composite single-walled nanotube, investigated using density functional
theory, was compared with single-walled carbon nanotube. Both external and
internal adsorption sites of these two nanotubes have been studied with the
hydrogen molecular axis oriented parallel to the nanotube wall. The
calculated results show that: ([see full textsee full text]) the physisorption energies of a H2
molecule are larger for BC3(8,0) composite nanotube than for C(8,0)
nanotube at all adsorption sites examined. ([see full textsee full text]) For these two nanotubes, the
physisorption energies are larger for hydrogen bound inside the nanotubes
than for adsorption outside the nanotubes. The different behavior between
these two nanotubes is explained by the contour plots of electron density
and charge-density difference of them. The present computations suggest that
BC3 nanotube may be a better candidate for hydrogen storage than carbon
nanotube. 相似文献

We present a first-principles study of the geometrical and electronic structures of a hexagonal single-walled silicon nanotube with a monovacancy or a substitutional defect. The B, C, N, Al and P atoms are chosen as substitutional impurities. It is found that the defect such as a monovacancy or a substitutional impurity results in deformation of the hexagonal single-walled silicon nanotube. In both cases, a relatively localized unoccupied state near the Fermi level occurs due to this local deformation. The differences in geometrical and electronic properties of different substitutional impurities are discussed. 相似文献

We have calculated the quantum conductance of single-walled
carbon nanotube (SWNT) waveguide by using a tight binding-based
Greens function approach. Our calculations show that the slow
conductance oscillations as well as the fast conductance
oscillations are manifestations of the intrinsic quantum
interference properties of the conducting SWNTs, being independent
of the defect and disorder of the SWNTs. And zigzag type tubes do
not show the slow oscillations. The SWNT electron waveguide is
also found to have distinctly different transport behavior
depending on whether or not the length of the tube is commensurate
with a (3N+1) rule, with N the number of basic carbon repeat
units along the nanotube length. 相似文献

We investigated the interactions between two different geometrical configurations of single-walled carbon nanotubes and boron atoms using first-principle calculations within the framework of the density functional theory. With the aid of ab initio calculations, we introduced a new type of toxic gas sensor that can detect the presence of CO, NO and H2 molecules. We proved that the dopant concentration on the surface of the nanotube plays a crucial role in the sensitivity of this device. Furthermore, we showed that small concentrations of dopants can modify the transport and electronic properties of the single-walled carbon nanotube and can lend metallic properties to the nanotube. Band-gap narrowing occurs when the nanotube is doped with boron atoms. The emerged new energy level near the Fermi level upon boron doping clearly indicates the coupling between the p orbital of the boron atom and the large p bond of the carbon nanotube. We also predicted a weak hybridization between the boron atoms and the nanotube for the valence-band edge states; this weak coupling leads to conducting states around the band gap. 相似文献

Near-infrared magneto-optical spectroscopy of single-walled carbon nanotubes reveals two absorption peaks with an equal strength at high magnetic fields (>55 T). We show that the peak separation is determined by the Aharonov-Bohm phase due to the tube-threading magnetic flux, which breaks the time-reversal symmetry and lifts the valley degeneracy. This field-induced symmetry breaking thus overcomes the Coulomb-induced intervalley mixing which is predicted to make the lowest exciton state optically inactive (or dark). 相似文献

We demonstrate that when a single-walled carbon nanotube is under pressure it undergoes a series of shape transitions, first transforming from a circle to an oval and then from an oval to a peanut. Most remarkably, the ratio of the area of the tube cross sections at the second transition over that at the first transition appears as a constant, independent of the tube radius. Its accurate value is computed to be G=0.819 469, by formulating a variational geometry problem to represent single-walled carbon nanotubes with a family of closed plane curves of fixed length and minimum bending energy. The implications of such a geometric constant in designing nanotube electromechanical pressure sensors are discussed. 相似文献

Utilising molecular dynamics simulations, the hydrogen molecules adsorption isotherms of the (8,?0) palladium decorated single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) were obtained. The hydrogen adsorption was studied on the external, interstial and internal surfaces of the SWNT bundle at several temperatures ranging from 77 to 400?K. The results were compared with the bare single-walled carbon nanotube bundle under the same conditions. The decorated carbon nanotube bundle hydrogen adsorption was significantly higher than that of the bare one. The hydrogen desorption and readsorption were studied using temperature as the readsorption/desorption variable. The rate constants were calculated for the hydrogen desorption at different temperatures. The calculated decorated SWNT bundle hydrogen desorption activation energy was higher than that for the bare SWNT bundle. The calculated activation energies for the hydrogen desorption in both nanotube bundles specified the temperature dependency of hydrogen desorption. 相似文献

Optical studies of single-walled carbon nanotubes have advanced greatly through the recent discovery of near-infrared band gap photoluminescence from single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) isolated in aqueous surfactant suspensions. This fluorescence emission has enabled the detection of many distinct optical transitions and their assignment to specific (n,m) semiconducting species of SWNT. The resulting set of precise transition energies presents a challenge to current theoretical models of nanotube electronic structure and a guide to nanotube researchers using resonance Raman spectroscopy. In the near future, structure-resolved fluorimetry should prove useful for revealing the quantitative (n,m) composition of mixed SWNT samples through sensitive, rapid, and nondestructive measurements. It will also permit detailed studies of many physical and chemical processes that vary with nanotube structure. PACS 71.35.Cc; 78.67.Ch; 78.67.-n 相似文献
