The size reduction of copper interconnects degrades their performances due to increased surface scattering, which significantly reduces the effective electron mean free path. Unlike Cu, CNTs support ballistic flow with a lower value free, highly induces researchers change by carbon nanotubes. In this way, paper presents an accurate method based on finite difference describing behavior nanotube ...

The fractal degree of adsorption on the multi-walled carbon nanotube has been investigated. The fractal-like Langmuir kinetics model has been used to obtain the fractal degree of ion adsorption on multi-walled carbon nanotube. The behavior of the fractal-like kinetics equation was compared with some famous rate equations like Langmuir, pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order equations. It is...

Although the thermal properties of millimeter-sized carbon nanotube mats and packed carbon nanofibers have been readily measured, measurements for a single nanotube are extremely difficult. Here, we report a novel method that can reliably measure the thermal conductivity of a single carbon nanotube using a suspended sample-attached T-type nanosensor. Our experimental results show that the therm...

We explore the properties of atoms confined to the interstitial regions within a carbon nanotube bundle. We find that He and Ne atoms are of ideal size for physisorption interactions, so that their binding energies are much greater there than on planar surfaces of any known material. Hence high density phases exist at even small vapor pressure. There can result extraordinary anisotropic liquids...

I calculate the quantum states for He atom in the potential of an external groove of the single wall carbon nanotube bundle. The calculated ground state energy is found to be in fair agreement with the experimental estimate which suggests that the outer groove site is a preferential site for the adsorption of He gas in the samples studied experimentally. I also calculate the specific heat of lo...

The separation of alkanes is important for a range of applications such as oil refinement, filtration and gas separation. Carbon nanotubes, with their large surface area are highly promising for applications utilising alkane adsorption and separation. Rather than remaining isolated however, nanotubes tend to bundle together, and the adsorption properties of such bundles and subsequent potential...

An optical absorbance technique was used to study the burning temperature and burning mechanism of vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotube (VA-SWNT) films. Use of this simple optical method is shown to be consistent with the standard thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) method, but can be applied to a very small amount of SWNTs. Experimental results indicate burning of the VA-SWNTs is not ...

We show that the thermal and electrical properties of single wall carbon nanotube ~CNT!-polymer composites are significantly enhanced by magnetic alignment during processing. The electrical transport properties of the composites are mainly governed by the hopping conduction with localization lengths comparable to bundle diameters. The bundling of nanotubes during the composite processing is an ...

Each new semiconductor technology node brings smaller transistors and wires. Although this makes transistors faster, wires get slower. In nano-scale regime, the standard copper (Cu) interconnect will become a major hurdle for FPGA interconnect due to their high resistivity and electromigration. This paper presents the comprehensive evaluation of mixed CNT bundle interconnects and investigates t...
