We present the first-principles calculation of transport properties of a semiconducting carbon nanotube connected to aluminum metallic electrodes. The transmission spectrum of the nanotube shows a decrease in the band-gap energy level but has a finite value due to the hybridization of the metallic states of the electrodes.

Using first-principles calculation method, we have investigated the zone-center phonon modes, dielectric and transport properties of the LiNbO3-type CdPbO3. The results show that the relatively large peaks of infrared (IR) and Raman spectra mainly come from the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] modes, respectively. The dielectric constant calculations reveal that this compound is positive uniaxial crystal and has the large dielectric constants. By investigating the electric transport properties using gold as electrode, the interesting negative differential resistance (NDR) effect can be observed, which reveals this compound should have important application in semiconducting electronic devices.

ABSTRACTWe present an atomistic self-consistent study of the electronic and transport properties of semiconducting carbon nanotubes in contact with metal electrodes at different contact geometries. We analyze the Schottky barrier effect at the metal-nanotube interface by examining the electrostatics, the band line up and the conductance of the metal-nanotube wire-metal junction as a function of the nanotube channel length, which leads to an effective decoupling of interface and bulk effects in electron transport through nanotube junction devices.
