Physical removal of metallic carbon nanotubes from nanotube network devices using a thermal and fluidic process.
Electronic and optoelectronic devices based on thin films of carbon nanotubes are currently limited by the presence of metallic nanotubes. Here we present a novel approach based on nanotube alkyl functionalization to physically remove the metallic nanotubes from such network devices. The process relies on preferential thermal desorption of the alkyls from the semiconducting nanotubes and the su...
متن کاملA simple chemical route to selectively eliminate metallic carbon nanotubes in nanotube network devices.
Semiconducting-only single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) network field effect transistors (FETs) have been fabricated by selectively reacting all the metallic SWNTs in the devices with diazonium reagents in a controlled manner. We have shown that the concentration of diazonium reagents used is crucial for selectively eliminating metallic SWNTs and keeping semiconducting ones intact. Excessive a...
متن کاملThermal properties of carbon nanotubes and nanotube-based materials
The thermal properties of carbon nanotubes are directly related to their unique structure and small size. Because of these properties, nanotubes may prove to be an ideal material for the study of low-dimensional phonon physics, and for thermal management, both on the macroand the micro-scale. We have begun to explore the thermal properties of nanotubes by measuring the specific heat and thermal...
