CARBON NANOTUBES: Properties, Synthesis &
Applications in Electronic Devices
Chemical Element Physical forms Covalently bonded n/w Allotropes Physical Properties : Transparent/Opaque Hard/Soft Thermal Conductivity Electrical Conductivity
NANOTUBE:
Nanometer scale Tube-like Structure.
Well structured network of Hexagon atoms that connect together in a rolled fashion that creates a cylinder without a seam.
Width- 1nm
Length – Depending on requirements (can be few nm, thousands of microns, or ten thousands of microns).
CARBON NANOTUBES (CNTs):
Wires of pure carbon with nm(10-9) diameters and lengths of many microns.
Types : SWCNT & MWCNT
SWCNT : Single atomic layer thick sheet of graphite rolled into a seamless cylinder.
MWCNT : Several concentric Nanotube Shells.
Prof. Sumio Iijima, IBM. Japan
HISTORY
Initial History of Nanotubes started in 1970 with preparation of carbon filaments but it failed to meet the requirements for width and thus were deemed.
In 1991, the true first invention of nanotube was finally made.
CNT was discovered by Professor Sumio Iijima of IBM in Japan.
STRUCTURE OF CNTs
Depends on rolling up the graphene sheet.
3 Geometries: Armchair Zigzag Chiral.
Also referred as Flavors.
PROPERTIES OF CNTs
ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES OF CNTs:Understanding electronic properties of a graphene sheet.
Most Directions: there is a bandgap electrons are not free Graphene: zero-gap semiconductor.
Special Directions: electrons flow easily Graphene: metallic
Bulk Graphite: conducting metallic path which connects any two points. Graphite: conducts electricity.
Rolled upSpecial direction: along the axis of NT.Directions: Metallic SemiconductingMolecular Electronic Technologies.
SYNTHESIS METHODS FOR CARBON NANOTUBES
1) ARC DISCHARGE CHAMBER 2) LASER ABLATION METHOD
3) CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION (CVD) 4) HYDROCARBON FLAMES METHOD
CNT APPLICATIONS IN ELECTRONIC DEVICES1) Transparent Conductive Films:
