Charge Islands Through Tunneling

Robinson D.C., NASA Glenn Research Center, US

It has been recently reported that the electrical charge in a semiconductive carbon nanotube is not evenly distributed, but rather it is divided into charge “islands” [1,2]. This paper links the aforementioned phenomenon to tunneling [...]

Nanotube Tunneling as a Consequence of Probable Discrete Trajectories

Robinson D., NASA Glenn Research Center, US

It has been recently reported that the electrical charge in a semiconductive carbon nanotube is not evenly distributed, but is divided into charge "islands [1,2]." A clear understanding of tunneling phenomena can be useful to [...]
