High-Tc Superconductivity in Entirely End-bonded Multi-walled nanotubes
نویسندگان
چکیده
One-dimensional (1D) systems face some obstructions that prevent the emergence of superconductivity, such as Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid states and Peierls transition. Carbon nanotubes (CNs) are one of the best candidates for investigating the possibility of 1D superconductivity and its interplay with such obstructions. Only two groups to our knowledge, however, have experimentally reported superconductivity in CNs [1],[2]. In contrast, interestingly B-doped diamond and CaC6 could exhibit superconductivity with Tc of about 11K [3].

High-Tc superconductivity in entirely end-bonded multi-walled carbon nanotubes
We report that entirely end-bonded multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) can exhibit superconductivity with a transition temperature (Tc) as high as 12 K, which is approximately 30 times greater than Tc reported for ropes of single-walled nanotubes. We find that the emergence of this superconductivity is highly sensitive to the junction structures of the Au electrode/MWNTs. This reveals that on...

متن کاملSuperconductivity in thin films of boron-doped carbon nanotubes.
Superconductivity in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is attracting considerable attention. However, its correlation with carrier doping has not been reported. We report on the Meissner effect found in thin films consisting of assembled boron (B)-doped single-walled CNTs (B-SWNTs). We find that only B-SWNT films consisting of low boron concentration leads to evident Meissner effect with Tc=12 K and also...
متن کاملEnd-bonded contacts for carbon nanotube transistors with low, size-independent resistance.
Moving beyond the limits of silicon transistors requires both a high-performance channel and high-quality electrical contacts. Carbon nanotubes provide high-performance channels below 10 nanometers, but as with silicon, the increase in contact resistance with decreasing size becomes a major performance roadblock. We report a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) transistor technology with an end...
متن کاملObservation of phase transition from Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid states to superconductive phase in carbon nanotubes
We report the observation of change in one-dimensional Coulomb interaction between electrons in multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). The results indicate occurrence of the phase transition from the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) states within repulsive Coulomb interaction to the superconductive (SC) phase within attractive Coulomb interaction mediated by phonon, as energy decreases. The smal...
