1/f NOISE IN CARBON NANOTUBES
نویسندگان
چکیده
The low-frequency electronic noise properties of individual single-wall metallic carbon nanotubes are investigated. The noise exhibits a 1/f frequency dependence and a V 2 voltage dependence. The noise power at 8 K appears to be three orders of magnitude smaller than at 300 K. As a demonstration of how these noise properties affect nanotube devices, a preliminary investigation of the noise characteristics of a fabricated intramolecular carbon nanotube single-electron transistor is presented.

1Õf noise in carbon nanotubes
The electrical noise characteristics of single-walled carbon nanotubes have been investigated. For all three cases of individual isolated nanotubes, thin films of interconnected nanotubes, and bulk nanotube mats, anomalously large bias-dependent 1/f noise is found. The noise magnitude greatly exceeds that commonly observed in metal films, carbon resistors, or even carbon fibers with comparable ...
متن کاملManifestation of Kohn anomaly in 1/f fluctuations in metallic carbon nanotubes.
Low-frequency noise in metallic single walled carbon nanotubes is shown to be strongly dependent on the Fermi level position and the applied electric field across the nanotube. Resonance-like enhancement observed near optical phonon energy only when the Fermi level lies near the Dirac point is correlated to Raman G-band softening and broadening. The results suggest that the competition between ...
متن کامل1/f noise in carbon nanotube devices - On the impact of contacts and device geometry
We report on the 1/f noise in various ballistic carbon nanotube devices. A common means to characterize the quality of a transistor in terms of noise is to evaluate the ratio of the noise amplitude and the sample resistance . By contacting semiconducting tubes with different metal electrodes we are able to show that a small / value by itself is no indication of a suitable metal/tube combination...
متن کاملMeasurements of Shot Noise in Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes
We have measured shot noise in single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) at 4.2K over frequencies / = 600 850 MHz. Here we report results obtained on shot noise without DC bias by applying an AC modulation at <»o and recording the noise variation at 2(OQ\ the Fano factor is obtained by extrapolating down to zero excitation amplitude. We also discuss the applicability of this method in samples which...
