Switching intermolecular interactions by confinement in carbon nanotubes.
The encapsulation of trityl-functionalised C60 molecules inside carbon nanotubes drastically affects the intermolecular interactions for this species. Whilst the orientations of molecules in the crystal are often controlled by thermodynamics, the molecular orientations in nanotubes are a result of kinetic control imposed by the mechanism of entry into and encapsulation within the nanotube.
متن کاملChromophore Ordering by Confinement into Carbon Nanotubes
We report an experimental study on the confinement of oligothiophene derivatives into single-walled carbon nanotubes over a large range of diameter (from 0.68 to 1.93 nm). We evidence by means of Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy that the supramolecular organizations of the confined oligothiophenes depend on the nanocontainer size. The Raman Radial Breathing Mode frequency...
متن کاملElectrical switching in metallic carbon nanotubes.
We present first-principles calculations of quantum transport which show that the resistance of metallic carbon nanotubes can be changed dramatically with homogeneous transverse electric fields if the nanotubes have impurities or defects. The change of the resistance is predicted to range over more than 2 orders of magnitude with experimentally attainable electric fields. This novel property ha...
متن کاملConductance switching in diarylethenes bridging carbon nanotubes.
The recently reported photoswitching of diarylethene derivative molecules bridging carbon nanotube (CNT) contacts is theoretically analyzed. The short lifetime of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) indicates that neither the open nor closed form of the molecule can be photoexcited into a charge-neutral excited state for any appreciable length of time preventing photochromic ring ope...
متن کاملCasimir Interactions Between Scatterers in Carbon Nanotubes
CASIMIR INTERACTIONS BETWEEN SCATTERERS IN CARBON NANOTUBES Dina Zhabinskaya Eugene J. Mele, advisor In this thesis we calculate interactions between localized scatterers in metallic carbon nanotubes. Backscattering of electrons between localized scatterers mediates long range forces between them. These interactions are mapped to Casimir forces mediated by one-dimensional massless fermions and ...
