Nanotube in a periodic potential: A conveyer belt for electrons

Novikov D.S., Princeton University, US

We consider a carbon nanotube in the presence of an externally appliedperiodic potential. We show that, as a function of gate voltage that controls electron density (counted from the half-filled pi-band), the electron states can [...]

ZnO Nanoparticles Beaded Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

Zhu Y., Elim H.I., Foo Y.L., Triparthy S., Quek W.T., Ji W., Thong J., Sow C.H., National University of Singapore, SG

In this work, we report a hybrid system of ZnO nanoparticles on MWNT scaffolds synthesized via a very simple and straightforward process. This involved the coating of pure Zn on as-grown aligned MWNT films, followed [...]

Carbon nanotube Josephson junctions

Jørgensen H.I., Grove-Rasmussen K., Lindelof P.E., NanoScience Center, DK

We have succeeded in making reproducible superconducting contacts to gated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Devices with two types of superconducting trilayer electrodes are fabricated; Ti/Al/Ti and Ti/Nb/Ti. We have devices both in the high transparency [...]

Exfoliated Graphite Nanoplatelets (xGnP): A Carbon Nanotube Alternative

Drzal L.T., Fukushima H., Michigan State University, US

Nanocomposites are opening up ‘windows of opportunity’ for new applications of polymers to not only structural but also non structural areas by providing ways to tailor surface, electrical, thermal and barrier properties. The choices of [...]

Role of Nanoscale Topography on the Super-Hydrophobicity: A Study of Fluoro-Based Polymer Film on vertically Carbon Nanotubes

Phani A.R., Grossi V., Passacantando M., Santucci S., University of L'Aquila, IT

The unique electronic, mechanical and chemical properties of carbon nanotubes making them most promising candidate for the building blocks of molecular-scale machines, and nanoelectronic devices. On the other hand, highly hydrophobic films are being actively [...]

Pore-Size Control of Carbon Nanospace with Ultrasonic Irradiation

Ohkubo T., Hori R., Tsuchiya K., Sakai H., Abe M., Tokyo University of Science, JP

In this study, we examined the micropore-size control on activated carbons by ultrasonic irradiation with various conditions.Pitch-based activated carbon fiber (ACF; AD’ALL Co. Ltd.) was used for the sample having relatively uniform micropores whose micropore [...]

A Grand Canonical Monte-Carlo Simulation of the Textural, Mechanical and Adsorption Properties of Faujasite zeolite Carbon Replica

Roussel T., Bichara C., Pellenq R.J.-M., Centre de Recherche en Matière Condensée et Nanosciences, CNRS, FR

The development of the negative templating process to obtain a carbon replica from an ordered inorganic template has lead to the synthesis of new carbon materials which have interesting textural properties attractive for energy storage. [...]
