Electric field-induced carbon nanotube junction formation

Due to the high field enhancement factor and photon-absorption efficiency, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been widely used in optically induced field-emission as a cathode. Here, we report vertical carbon nanotube arrays (VCNTAs) that performed as high-density electron sources. A combination of high applied electric field and laser illumination made it possible to modulate the emission with laser pulses. When the bias electric field and laser power density increased, the emission process is sensitive to a power law of the laser intensity, which supports the emission mechanism of optically induced field emission followed by over-the-barrier emission. Furthermore, we determine a polarization dependence that exhibits a cosine behavior, which verifies the high possibility of optically induced field emission.

The spin-Seebeck effect (SSE) in linearly hydrogenated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is realized, where partial hydrogenation makes CNTs acquire magnetism. Moreover, an odd–even effect of the SSE is observed, and the even cases could be used as spin-Seebeck diodes, without the need for an electric field or gate voltage.

Dispersed aligned single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) array has been formed between electrodes by electric field assisted alignment of surface decorated SWCNTs. The surface decoration of SWCNTs with functional molecules allows them to dispersedly bridge metal electrodes and effectively obviates the entanglement between SWCNTs. The influences of solution volatility and electric-field type on the alignment are investigated. It is indicated that the well-oriented SWCNT array can be achieved by using the high-volatility solvent and the high-frequency AC electric field to align SWCNTs.
