The characteristic of single wall carbon nanotube (SW-CNT) and herringbone nano fiber (HB-CNF) emitters was described. SW-CNT synthesized by arc discharge and HB-CNF prepared by thermal CVD were mixed with binders and conductive materials, and then were formed by screen-printing process. In order to obtain efficient field emissions, the surface treatment of rubbing & peel-off was applied to the printed CNT and CNF emitters. The basic structure of FED was of a diode type through fully vacuum packaging. Also, we proposed a new triode type of field emitter using a mesh gate plate having tapered holes and could achieve the ideal triode properties with no gate leakage currents.

In this work, the buckling and vibrational behavior of the composite beam armed with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SW-CNT) resting on Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation are investigated. The CNT-RC beam is modeled by a novel integral first order shear deformation theory. The current theory contains three variables and uses the shear correction factors. The equivalent properties of the CNT-RC beam are computed using the mixture rule. The equations of motion are derived and resolved by Applying the Hamilton's principle and Navier solution on the current model. The accuracy of the current model is verified by comparison studies with others models found in the literature. Also, several parametric studies and their discussions are presented.

탄소나노튜브는 캔틸레버처럼 주어진 압력에 의해 elastic curve를 형성하게 되는데, 이러한 성질은 탄소나노튜브가 가지고 있는 young's modulus와 구조적인 형태에서 기인한다. 따라서 탄소나노튜브의 변위와 인가된 analyte의 농도에 따른 압력 사이의 관계를 이용해 가스센서로의 적용이 가능하다. 이 번 연구에서는 시뮬레이션을 통해 길이가 30nm 이고 반경이 1.5nm로 모델링 된 단일 벽 탄소나노튜브가 3000ppm와 1000ppm ethanol의 농도에 의해 형성된 elastic curve의 최대변위를 구하고, 농도와 단일 벽 탄소나노튜브의 elastic curve의 최대변위가 비례함을 보였다.

EDISON 나노물리 사이트에 탑재된 탄소나노튜브 FET 소자 시뮬레이션 툴을 이용하여 나노 CNT 소자에서의 p-n접합이 갖는 특성을 살펴보았다. 순방향 바이어스에서는 일반적인 p-n접합과 유사한 특성을 보이나 그 원리는 다름을 알 수 있었으며, 역방향 바이어스에서는 밴드 대 밴드 터널링에 의한 전류가 발생함을 확인하였다. 또한 이러한 역방향 바이어스 하의 전류가 도핑농도에 따라 변함을 확인하여 실제 CNT 소자의 도핑농도를 예측해볼 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

A linear carbon chain with pure sp hybridization has been intensively studied for the application of its intrinsic electrical properties to electronic devices. Owing to the high chemical reactivity derived from its unsaturated bond, encapsulation by carbon nanotubes (CNT) is provided as a promising method to stabilize the geometry of the linear carbon chain. Although the influence of CNT on the carbon chain has extensively been studied in terms of both electronic structure and geometries, the electron transport properties has not been discussed yet. In this regard, we provide the systematic atomic-scale analyses of the properties of the linear carbon chain within CNT based on a computational approach combining density-functional theory (DFT) and matrix green function (MGF) method. Based on the DFT calculations, the influence of CNT on electronic structures of the linear carbon chain is provided as well as its electrical origin. Via MGF calculations, we also identify the electron transport properties of the carbon chain - CNT complex.

In this paper, novel Carbon Nanotube Gate-Elongated Tunneling Field Transistor(CNT G-E TFET) is proposed. This proposed device is designed to decrease off-current around 2~6 orders of magnitude compared to the gate-channel size matched TFET. Mechanism of CNT G-E TFET creates additional steps in energy band structure so that off-current can be reduced. Since CNT TFETs show a great probability for tunneling processes and they are beneficial for the overall device performance in terms of switching speed and power consumption, CNT G-E TFET looks pretty much promising.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been widely accepted and used as the enhancer for polymer nano-composites due to their remarkable mechanical properties. Understandably, the CNT fiber-polymer matrix interface plays a major role in determining the properties of the CNT-polymer nano-composites. Here, using the LCAODFT Lab tool available on the EDISON Nano-Physics site, we performed first-principles density-functional theory calculations to determine the atomic configurations and binding energies of the CNTs in contact with polymers. For the polymer matrixes, we chose poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN), which is one of the most well-known polymer matrixes for the carbon nanofiber nanocomposites. Different chiralities and diameters of pristine CNTs were considered, and several PAN-CNT configurations were prepared based on the atomistic positions and directions of cyano group in PAN. The most favorable configuration of PAN was obtained when the PAN bound parallel to the surface of CNT. Our finding indicates the binding configurations are determined by the direction of the cyano group dominantly rather than the atomistic position of PAN, or the symmetry of CNTs. The result of increasing the length of CNT diameter suggests that PAN is inclinable to align evenly on the surface of relatively large size of CNT with the configuration parallel to the surface. These results obtained in this study will provide the starting point for the design of improved PAN-CNT composites for the next-generation ultra-strong and ultra-light carbon nanofibers.

Recent studies demonstrated the ability of carbon nanotube (CNT) to promote electron transfer reactions of important compounds and to impart higher stability onto electrochemical sensors. CNT-based sensors measured by hydroxyl radical concentration or pH value suggest great promise for biosensors. This paper describes a new method for fabricating a very simple and inexpensive pH sensor compose of single walled-carbon nanotubes (SW-CNTs) using an ultra-precision spray. CNT-based sensor shows pH sensitivity in buffer solution at different pH range. Our experimental results show the sensor responses to pH buffer solution and the conductance of depends on the pH values. These results support application possibility of SW-CNTs based pH sensor for mass production.

본 연구에서는 S/D이 n+/n+로 구성된 CNT-MOSFETs, 금속으로 이루어진 SB-CNTFETs와 p+/n+로 구성된 CNT-TFETs에 대한 각각의 $I_d-V_g$ 특성과 포텐셜 프로파일을 확인하였다. 그리고 각 소자의 특성 및 특징을 연구하고, 이 중에서 BTB에 가장 큰 영향을 받는 CNT-TFETs의 특성을 $V_{DS}$, 분자 비대칭성과 $T_{ox}$에 따른 특성 변화를 연구하였다. 그 결과 예상과 다르게 오히려 작은 $V_{DS}$와 큰 $E_g$을 가질 때, 향상된 SS를 가진다는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 특히, (7,0) CNT-TFETs에서 비록 $I_d$는 작지만, SS를 57mV/dec까지 개선할 수 있었다. 또한, $T_{ox}$를 얇게 하면, 비록 60 mV/dec 이하의 결과는 보여주지 못했지만, SS와 Ion 모두 개선할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
