Exploring the possible interlinked structures in single‐wall carbon nanotubes under pressure by Raman spectroscopy

High‐pressure Raman measurements on single‐wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been carried out in a diamond anvil cell by using two wavelength lasers: 830 and 514.5 nm. Irrespective of using a pressure transmitting medium (PTM) or not, we found that nanotubes undergo similar transformations under pressure. The pressure‐induced changes in Raman signals at around 2 and 5 GPa are attributed to the nanotube cross‐section transitions from circle to ellipse and then to a flattened shape, respectively. Especially with pressure increasing up to 15–17 GPa, we observed that the third transition takes place in both the Raman wavenumber and the linewidth of G‐band. We propose explanations that the interlinked configuration with sp³ bonds forms in the bundles of SWNTs under pressure, which was the cause for the occurrence of those Raman anomalies, similar to the structural‐phase transition of graphite above 14 GPa. Our TEM observations and Raman measurements on the decompressed samples support this transition picture. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Effect of hydrogen on the growth and morphology of single wall carbon nanotubes synthesized on a FeMo/MgO catalytic system

Single wall carbon nanotubes were synthesized from thermal pyrolysis of methane on a FeMo/MgO catalyst by radio frequency catalytic chemical vapor deposition (RF-CVD) using argon as a carrier gas. Controlled amounts of hydrogen (H₂/CH₄=0-1 v/v) were introduced in separate experiments along with the carbon source. The properties and morphology of the synthesized single wall carbon nanotubes were monitored by transmission electron microscopy, Raman scattering, and thermogravimetric analysis. The nanotubes with the highest crystallinity were obtained with H₂/CH₄=0.6. By monitoring the Radial Breathing Modes present in the Raman spectra of the single-wall carbon nanotube samples, the variation of the structural and morphological properties of the carbon nanotubes with the flow level of hydrogen, reflect changes of the catalyst systems induced by the presence of hydrogen.     

Improvement of electronic properties of carboxylated zigzag single wall carbon nanotubes by interaction with benzene derivatives

In this article, we reported the structural and conductive properties of benzene derivatives/carboxylated zigzag SWCNTs. It was noticed that the carboxylated carbon nanotubes were appropriate adsorbents for benzene derivatives. We presented novel density of states and band structures for modified SWCNTs by both carboxylic group and benzene derivatives. The result showed that nitrobenzene/COOH-SWCNT comprising superb electronic properties can be effectually applied for electronic devices and solar cells, instead of aniline/SWCNT combined system.

碳纳米管的稳定性研究

石墨晶体结构遭到破坏时,总是碎化为微小尺寸的片状粉末.孤立的石墨烯片在其边缘存在大量的悬挂键,使得石墨烯片的能量较高,状态也不稳定.石墨烯片卷曲形成碳纳米管后,悬挂键减少,系统能量相应降低.另一方面,石墨烯片卷曲形成碳纳米管将产生相应的形变势能,形变势能的产生将抵消由于减少石墨烯片边缘上的悬挂键所带来的能量降低,使碳纳米管的能量可能高于石墨烯片的能量,导致碳纳米管结构的不稳定.在建立碳纳米管生成的力学模型并进行深入理论分析的基础上得出了碳纳米管可以稳定存在的最小直径约为0.32nm的结论. 关键词： 碳纳米管 稳定性 形变势能 键能

First-principle study of geometries, electronic structures and vibrational spectra of neutral and anionic onion-like [As@Ni12@As20］

We present results of first-principle study for both neutral and anionic onion-like [As@Ni₁₂@As₂₀］. The ground-states of singly-charged and doubly-charged anions deviate from ideal I_h symmetrical geometry because of Jahn--Teller effect, whereas the triply-charged singlet and neutral quartet have similar stable geometries of I_h symmetry. The infrared and Raman spectra may provide a way to determine various charge states of this molecule with the same symmetry. Based on our systematical calculations, we suggest additional experimental measurements in order to determine the appropriate functional with great confidence, which should be important in the research for future quantum dot devices.

Structural and electronic properties of carbon nanotubes under hydrostatic pressures

We studied the structural and electronic properties of carbon nanotubes under hydrostatic pressures based on molecular dynamics simulations and first principles band structure calculations. It is found that carbon nanotubes experience a hard-to-soft transition as external pressure increases. The bulk modulus of soft phase is two orders of magnitude smaller than that of hard phase. The band structure calculations show that band gap of (10, 0) nanotube increases with the increase of pressure at low pressures. Above a critical pressure (5.70GPa), band gap of (10, 0) nanotube drops rapidly and becomes zero at 6.62GPa. Moreover, the calculated charge density shows that a large pressure can induce an {sp}²-to-{sp}³ bonding transition, which is confirmed by recent experiments on deformed carbon nanotubes.

Low-energy electronic properties of pairs of identical carbon nanotubes

The tight-binding model is employed to study the low-energy electronic properties of aligned pairs of identical single-wall carbon nanotubes with the intertube interactions. The rotational symmetry about the tube axes is totally broken, and the intertube interactions hybridize the atomic states on each tube to create new sub-bands. Sub-band spacing, sub-band curvature, band-edge states, and energy gaps are sensitive to stacking types and are also dependent on the radius and the chirality of the tubes. The systems could be metal, semimetal, or semiconductor depending on their stacking types. In particular, an armchair pair keeps the band structures linear like a single tube if the pair has a glide symmetry with respect to the plane between its constituent tubes. Breaking this symmetry makes the pair semimetallic or semiconducting. However, there are no such properties for chiral and zigzag pairs. The variations in electronic structures of these pairs are more complicated and more sensitive to the tube radii. Instead of being like a rope or a large bundle, the stacking-type dependent behavior is more similar to commensurate double-wall carbon nanotubes.     

Charge‐transfer behavior of polyaniline single wall carbon nanotubes nanocomposites monitored by resonance Raman spectroscopy

Highly dispersed nanocomposites of polyaniline(PANI) and oxidized single wall carbon nanotubes(SWNTs) have been prepared using dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid as dispersant. The materials were characterized via resonance Raman and electronic absorption spectroscopies. The behavior of the composites as a function of the applied potential was also investigated using in situ Raman electrochemical measurements. The results obtained at E_laser = 1.17 eV suggest that a charge‐transfer process occur between PANI and semiconducting nanotubes for samples where the metallic tubes are previously oxidized. The spectroelectrochemical data show that the presence of SWNTs prevents the oxidation of PANI rings. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
