Plasmonic nature of the terahertz conductivity peak in single-wall carbon nanotubes.
Plasmon resonance is expected to occur in metallic and doped semiconducting carbon nanotubes in the terahertz frequency range, but its convincing identification has so far been elusive. The origin of the terahertz conductivity peak commonly observed for carbon nanotube ensembles remains controversial. Here we present results of optical, terahertz, and direct current (DC) transport measurements ...
متن کاملThermal Conductivity of Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes
Despite the significant amount of research on single-wall carbon nanotubes, their thermal conductivity has not been well established. To date only one experimental thermal conductivity measurement has been reported for these molecules around room temperature, with large uncertainty in the thermal conductivity values. Existing theoretical predictions based on molecular dynamics simulation range ...
متن کاملUniform peak optical conductivity in single-walled carbon nanotubes
Recent Rayleigh scattering measurements show that all single-walled carbon nanotubes have a peak optical conductivity of approximately 8 e2/h, independent of radius, chiral angle, or whether the nanotube is semiconducting or metallic [D. Y. Joh et al., Nat. Nanotechnol. 6, 51 (2011)]. We show that this uniform peak conductivity is a consequence of the relativistic band structure and strength of...
متن کاملTheory of Conductivity in Semiconducting Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes
The conduction of a single-wall carbon nanotube depends on the pitch. If there are an integral number of carbon hexagons per pitch, then the system is periodic along the tube axis and allows “holes” (not “electrons”) to move inside the tube. This case accounts for a semiconducting behavior with the activation energy of the order of around 3 meV. There is a distribution of the activation energy ...
متن کاملThermal Conductivity of Individual Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes
Despite the significant amount of research on carbon nanotubes, the thermal conductivity of individual single-wall carbon nanotubes has not been well established. To date only a few groups have reported experimental data for these molecules. Existing molecular dynamics simulation results range from several hundred to 6600 W/m K and existing theoretical predictions range from several dozens to 9...
