We explore the band structures of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with two types of spin-orbit couplings. The obtained results indicate that weak Rashba spin-orbit coupling interaction can lead to the breaking of four-fold degeneracy in all tubes even though without the intrinsic SO coupling. The asymmetric splitting between conduction bands and valence bands is caused by both SO couplings at the same time. When the ratio of Rashba spin-orbit coupling to the intrinsic spin-orbit coupling is larger than 3, metallic zigzag nanotube is always metallic conductor, on the contrary it becomes semiconducting properties. However, only when this ratio is equal to about 3 or the intrinsic spin-orbit coupling is much weak, the metallic armchair nanotube still holds the metallic behavior in transport. 相似文献

We investigated theoretically in detail the size effect of spin-polarized transport in FM/Single-walled carbon nanotube/FM junctions (FM/SWCNT/FM) consisting of the achiral types of tubes: armchair tubes and zigzag tubes. The results show that the spin-polarized transport has different oscillation behaviors with the junction?s size in these two junctions. And the effect of tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) in zigzag tube is stronger than that in armchair tubes. For all zigzag tubes when the size exceeds a limit the size effect on TMR disappears and TMR value reaches one maximum 20%. Furthermore, for each family of zigzag tubes, this limit of size increases with increasing tube?s radius. For short zigzag tubes the TMR can be negative at some special sizes. And the negative TMR value can reach −12% at the angle π. Finally, except for the zero angel, the obtained results show that for all zigzag tubes the extremum of TMR is at the angle π . For all armchair tubes, the TMR value has one oscillation of small amplitude with the increase of angle and it has two extrema: the maximum at π/2 and the minimum at π, respectively. 相似文献

In this study, the development of polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogel microstructures led to the micropatterning of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) films. Polyethylene glycol was patterned in a process analogous to photolithography in order to manufacture high-density arrays of micrometer-scale hydrogel wells on SWCNT film surfaces. These microwells were composed of hydrophobic SWCNT films surrounded by hydrophilic PEG hydrogel walls. Effects of PEG hydrogel microstructures on the micropatterning of SWCNT films were systematically investigated under different substrates prepared with 3-(trichlorosilyl)propyl methacrylate or octadecyltrichlorosilane solution. A characterization of protein adsorption and an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) reaction were performed to evaluate the biocompatible and electrical efficiency of the patterned SWCNT films in various applications. The proteins selectively adhered to the SWCNT surface inside the microwells, while adherent proteins were absent from the hydrogel walls. In the ECL reaction, the SWCNT films patterned with PEG hydrogel exhibited good, stable ECL behavior, a sign that patterned SWCNT films can be used as flexible and transparent electrodes. 相似文献

Different localized states of travelling-wave convection in a rectangular container 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1 下载免费PDF全文
We have performed numerical simulations of localized travelling-wave convection in a
binary fluid mixture heated from below in a long rectangular container. Calculations
are carried out in a vertical cross section of the rolls perpendicular to their
axes. For a negative enough separation ratio, two types of quite different confined
states were documented by applying different control processes. One branch of
localized travelling waves survives only in a very narrow band within subcritical
regime, while another branch straddles the onset of convection existing both in
subcritical and supercritical regions. We elucidated that concentration field and
its current are key to understand how confined convection is sustained when
conductive state is absolutely unstable. The weak structures in the conducting
region are demonstrated too. 相似文献

We investigated luminescence decay kinetics in single-walled carbon nanotubes in large bundles excited by femtosecond pulses. The time constant of luminescence decay becomes longer with decrease in photon energy: 40 fs at 1.2 eV and 380 fs at 0.6 eV. This behavior is explained by exciton energy transfer from an excited to neighboring tubes. 相似文献

Adsorption of hydrogen molecules on an Ni-doped (8,0) single-walled
carbon nanotube (SWNT) is investigated by using first-principles
density functional calculations. The result shows that a single
Ni atom adsorbed on the bridge site of the tube could cannot
dissociate the H2, however it can chemisorb three H2 at
most, with the average binding energy per H2 suitable
for the hydrogen storage at the room temperature. More H2 would
physisorb around an Ni atom weakly. As for the SWNT with an Ni dimer
adsorbed, we find that when the H2 approaches the Ni--Ni bond,
it dissociates without overcoming any barrier and makes bonds
with Ni atom. 相似文献

We report quasi-ballistic conduction in single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) fibers at room temperature, with a measured mean free path of 1.0–2.6 μm. The dynamic submersion of vertical SWNT fibers into liquid mercury (Hg) electrode shows plateaus and steps indicative of quasi-ballistic electron transport. This response is described with a newly developed network model that uses surface impurities to simplify the parallel conducting channels. The quasi-ballistic SWNT fibers exhibit a resistance per unit length of 2.5–6.5 kΩ/μm and a mean free path exceeding 1 μm, a length longer than typical via dimensions in existing Si-chip technologies. These results highlight that SWNT fiber conductivity can be enhanced by increasing the metallic to semiconducting SWNT ratio and reducing the surface impurities. 相似文献

We have studied the switching characteristics of an optical molecular switch based on the 15,16-dinitrile dihydropyrene/cyclophanediene (DDP/CPD) molecule with two single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) electrodes using first-principles transport calculations. It is shown that the DDP shows an overall higher conductance than the CPD at low bias which is independently of the SWCNT chirality. Meantime, the conductance of the molecular switch can be tuned by the chirality of the SWCNT. 相似文献

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to provide an insight about the molecule distribution and thermophysical properties of n-heptacosane confined in the (25, 25) single-walled carbon nanotube (CNT). The results show that an orderly distribution of n-heptacosane molecules along the CNT inner wall is clearly observed. Meanwhile, n-heptacosane confined in CNT exhibits an increased self-diffusion coefficient, a decreased melting point and an enhanced thermal conductivity, compared to the bulk. The simulations reveal that MD is an effective and convenient method to understand the variation characteristics of alkane-based phase change materials confined in CNT on molecular and atomic scale. 相似文献

One-dimensional method of investigating the localized states in armchair graphene-like nanoribbons with defects 下载免费PDF全文
In this paper we propose a type of new analytical method to investigate the localized states in the armchair graphenelike nanoribbons. The method is based on the tight-binding model and with a standing wave assumption. The system of armchair graphene-like nanoribbons includes the armchair supercells with arbitrary elongation-type line defects and the semi-infinite nanoribbons. With this method, we analyze many interesting localized states near the line defects in the graphene and boron-nitride nanoribbons. We also derive the analytical expressions and the criteria for the localized states in the semi-infinite nanoribbons. 相似文献

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were synthesized by pyrolyzing
methane (CH4) at a temperature of 900℃ on SiO2 substrates
pre-coated with iron nano-particles. Electrical contacts were fabricated
onto one of the SWNTs by using an electron beam lithography process. Coulomb
blockade and single-electron tunnelling characters were found at low
temperatures, indicating that the SWNT in-between the electrodes forms a
quantum dot. It is found that the Coulomb gap of the quantum dot is about
8.57 meV, and the factor \alpha , which converts the gate voltage to the
true electrostatic potential shift, is around 200 for this device. 相似文献

Interference fringes are obtained in a field-emission microscopy
(FEM) study of a multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) with two
open-ended branches. The FEM pattern, which is composed of three
parallel streaks, can be interpreted by using classical Young's
double-slit interference with the ends of the two MWCNT branches
treated as two secondary sources of the electron wave. The origin of
the coherency of the electron beams from the two branches is
discussed on the basis of the quantitative analysis of the FEM
pattern. The result suggests a new approach to obtaining a coherent
electron source. 相似文献

Energetics and electronic structure of a single copper atomic chain wrapped in a carbon nanotube: a first-principles study 下载免费PDF全文
In the generalized gradient approximation, the energy and
electronic structure are investigated for a single copper atomic
chain wrapped in (4, 4), (5, 5) and (6, 6) armchair carbon nanotubes
by using the first-principles projector-augmented wave potential
within the framework of density functional theory. The results show
that the (4, 4) and (5, 5) tubes are too narrow to wrap a Cu chain,
but the (6, 6) tube is nearly ideal to wrap a Cu chain on its centre
axis. Wider tubes are anticipated to wrap more than one Cu
chain spontaneously with forces amounting to a fraction of a
nanonewton. Although the tube--chain interaction decreases with the
increase of the tube diameter of (4, 4), (5, 5) and (6, 6)
successively, the charge density of the Cu@(6, 6) combined system
still does not show complete superposition of that of the pristine (6, 6) tube and
Cu chain. Successively reducing the restrictions of (4, 4), (5,
5) and (6, 6) tubes on the Cu chain leads to a reduction in shift of the
highest peak of the Cu chain towards lower energies, that is from
-0.5177~eV of the isolated Cu chain to -1.36785~eV, -0.668~eV and
-0.588~eV for the Cu@(4, 4), Cu@(5, 5) and Cu@(6, 6) systems,
respectively. In reverse, the strong metallic character of the Cu chain
also enhances the metallic character of the combined systems so that
the broader pseudogaps of the pristine carbon nanotubes around the Fermi
level change into the narrow pseudogaps of the combined systems. 相似文献

We investigate the particle-hole pair excitations of dipolar molecules in an optical lattice, which can be described with an extended Bose-Hubbard model. For strong enough dipole-dipole interaction, the particle-hole pair excitations can form bound states in one and two dimensions. With decreasing dipole-dipole interaction, the energies of the bound states increase and merge into the particle-hole continuous spectrum gradually. The existence regions, the energy spectra and the wave functions of the bound states are carefully studied and the symmetries of the bound states are analyzed with group theory. For a given dipole-dipole interaction, the number of bound states varies in momentum space and a number distribution of the bound states is illustrated. We also discuss how to observe these bound states in future experiments. 相似文献
