Controlled growth and electrical characterization of bent single-walled carbon nanotubes

Huang J., Choi W.B., Florida International University, US

The unique electrical and mechanical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) make them one of the most promising candidates for next generation nanoelectronics. However, synthesis of complex geometries for as-grown SWNTs still remains a challenging [...]

A Multifunctional MWCNT strain sensor: sensing and damping

Li X., Keshri A.K., Agarwal A., Levy C., Florida International University, US

The goal of this work is to develop a new type of multi-functional mechanical strain sensor using multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) films. This new sensor is potentially to function as free layer damping treatment for [...]

High Current Cold Electron Source Based on Carbon Nanotube Field Emitters and Electron Multiplier Microchannel Plate

Raghunandan S., Choi W., Florida International University, US

Vacuum microelectronics has been studied for decades to develop unique devices such as rf-generators, high efficiency flat panel displays, x-ray sources and so on. In recent years field emitters based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and [...]

Multi-walled Carbon Nanotube Film as Strain Sensors for Structural Vibration Control

Li X., Levy C., Florida International University, US

We have employed pure multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) films as strain sensors for structural vibration control. The MWCNT films were prepared by solution/filtration method and were bonded directly onto aluminum specimens by nonconductive adhesives. Conventional [...]
