Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present theoretical and experimental investigations of three-terminal nanoelectromechanical relays based on suspended carbon nanotubes. A charge is induced in the nanotube by applying a voltage to an underlying gate electrode thus inducing the nanotube to bend and make contact with a drain electrode. Such devices have potential applications as fast switches, logic devices, memory elements and pulse generators. We describe two modes of operation: a contact mode where the nanotube makes physical contact with the drain electrode and a non-contact mode where electrical contact between the nanotube and the drain electrode is made via a field emission current.

- Carbon-based nanoelectromechanical devices are approaching applications in electronics. Switches based on individual carbon nanotubes deliver record low off-state leakage currents. Arrays of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes or nanofibers can be fabricated to constitute varactors. Very porous, low density arrays of quasi-vertically aligned arrays of carbon nanotubes behave mechanically as a single unit with very unusual material properties.

Graphitic encapsulation of catalyst particles in carbon nanotube production

- A new model is proposed for the encapsulation of catalyst metal particles by graphite layers that are obtained, for example, in low-temperature chemical vapor deposition production of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). In this model graphite layers are primarily formed from the dissolved carbon atoms in the metal-carbide particle when the particle cools. This mechanism is in good agreement with molecular dynamics simulations (which show that precipitated carbon atoms preferentially form graphite sheets instead of CNTs at low temperatures) and experimental results (e.g., encapsulated metal particles are found in low-temperature zones and CNTs in high-temperature regions of production apparatus, very small catalyst particles are generally not encapsulated, and the ratio of the number of graphitic layers to the diameter of the catalyst particle is typically 0.25 nm(-1)).

Electric field aligned growth of single-walled nanotubes

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Electric field aligned, single-walled carbon nanotubes are grown between electrodes using thermal chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of methane. The growth occurs on a thin film layered catalyst of aluminium, iron and molybdenum patterned on top of electrodes. The nanotubes bridge 10 μm sized electrode gaps and have a typical diameter of less than 2 nm as measured by Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. We present electrical transport measurements on a directly grown nanotube which shows p-type semiconducting behaviour.

In situ Raman studies of single-walled carbon nanotubes grown by local

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Using in situ Raman spectroscopy we investigate single wall carbon nanotube growth on Mo electrodes, using a highly localized resistive heating technique. Small diameter semiconducting single wall nanotubes grow very rapidly when the catalyst support is heated to a temperature of 800 C. The G/D ratio shows an interesting time-dependent behaviour. It first decreases, indicating the presence of amorphous carbon and then significantly increases again after ca. 5 min growth while retaining the position and shape expected for predominantly semiconducting carbon nanotubes.

Local heating method for growth of aligned carbon nanotubes at low ambient temperature

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We use a highly localised resistive heating technique to grow vertically aligned multiwalled nanotube films and aligned single-walled nanotubes on substrates with an average temperature of less than 100oC. The temperature at the catalyst can easily be as high as 1000 oC but an extremely high temperature gradient ensures that the surrounding chip is held at much lower temperatures, even as close as 1μm away from the local heater. We demonstrate the influence of temperature on the height of multi-walled nanotube films, illustrate the feasibility of sequential growth of single-walled nanotubes by switching between local heaters and also show that nanotubes can be grown over temperature sensitive materials such as resist polymer.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We show that good quality single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes can be grown on CMOS-compatible metal electrodes at ambient room temperature using highly localised catalyst heating at nanostructured electrodes. The method is relatively straightforward and allows considerable flexibility in the kinds of devices that can be fabricated as well as allowing CVD nanotube growth to take place in the close vicinity of temperature-sensitive materials and devices.
