Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are directly grown on W-tips at $700^{\circ}C$ using an ICP-CVD method. Sharpening of W-tip is done by electrochemical etch and their diameters are limited to range from $3{\mu}m$ to $5{\mu}m$. Catalysts for CNTs growth are formed by RF and DC co-sputtering systems using Ni and Co. The composition ratio of Ni and Co has been evaluated by energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The micro-images of CNTs are monitored by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). It is observed from Raman study that the intensity of the D-peak is increased by increasing the amount of Co catalyst. Furthermore, the measurement of field emission properties of CNTs show that the CNT grown on a single Co catalyst possess the greatest performance such as $V_{th}$=1,115V and $I_{max}=164{\mu}A$.

Mechanoluminescence (ML) is a phenomenon where the application of mechanical force to ML materials generates an electric field and produces light, holding significant promise as an eco-friendly technology. However, challenges in commercializing ML technology has arisen due to its low brightness and short luminous lifetime. To address this, in this work, we enhance ML efficiency by mixing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into a ZnS: Cu embedded in a polydimethylsiloxane composite ML device. The inclusion of CNTs boosts ML intensity by 98% compared to devices without CNTs, as the increasing CNT fraction elevates conductivity, thereby amplifying ML intensity. However, this increase in CNT fraction also leads to enhanced light absorption within the device. Consequently, we observe a trend where ML intensity rises initially but declines beyond a CNT fraction of 0.0015 wt%. Based on these findings, we anticipate that our research will make valuable contributions to the advancement of electrical powerless mechanoluminescent technology.

Natural rubbers (NR) reinforced by multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) was found to show extraordinary improvement of mechanical property. We speculated that this was owing to the interfacial phase that surrounded CNT and investigated about the phase by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Using force modulation mode and force-distance curve analyses, we succeeded in obtaining the information of its nanometer-scale rheological property. We found that was actually surrounded by the interfacial phase, that had softer modulus than NR matrix.

The field degradation of carbon nanotube field emitters in diode emission at constant current was demonstrated to be highly dependent upon the presence of residual gases at partial pressures. Upon exposure to a higher pressure of oxygen containing gases, for example, $O_2$ and CO increased the voltage. Those gases give rise to chemical etching to CNTs emitters. On the contrary, $CH_4$ affected the emission properties in the opposite direction as decreasing the voltage which was probably attributed to the introduction of adsorbate tunneling states. The mixed gas may cause a combined effect of both adsorbate tunneling states and CNT etching.

Single-wall carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (SWCNT FETs) of top gate structure were fabricated in a conventional metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) with gate electrodes above the conduction channel separated from the channel by a thin $SiO_{2}$ layer. The carbon nanotubes (CNTs) directly grown using thin Fe film as catalyst by thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD). These top gate devices exhibit good electrical characteristics, including steep subthreshold slope and high conductance at low gate voltages. Our experiments show that CNTFETs may be competitive with Si MOSFET for future nanoelectronic applications.

본 연구에서는 CNT의 분산성을 개선하고자 다중벽 탄소나노튜브(multi-walled carbon nanotube, MWNT)에 butyllithium solution 및 hexyllithium solution을 이용하여 표면을 화학적으로 개질하였다. 개질된 MWNT는 적외선 분광 분석 및 Raman spectrophotometer를 이용하여 MWNT에 작용기가 도입되었는지를 확인하였다. 또한, 열중량분석기(Thermogravimetric analysis, TGA)를 이용하여 작용기가 도입된 MWNT의 열적 성질을 측정하였으며, MWNT 및 개질된 MWNT를 다양한 용매에 따른 분산성을 확인하였다.

Carbon Nanotube (CNT) have been intensively investigated since they have been considered as building blocks of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Theoretical and computational studies on CNTs have revealed their physical and chemical properties and helped researchers build various experimental devices to study them in depth. However, there have been only few systematic studies on detailed changes in electronic structures of CNTs due to geometrical structure modifications. In this regard, it is necessary to perform systematic investigations of the modifications in electronic structures of CNTs, as their geometrical configurations are altered, using the first-principles density functional theory. In other words, it is essential to determine the true equilibrium structure of CNTs. In this work, we considered the different atomic configurations by maintaining their symmetries, but changing all the inequivalent bonding types one by one. Furthermore, as for CNTs, for example, the way the graphene sheet is wrapped is represented by a pair of indices (n,m) and electronic structures of CNTs vary depending on different indices. Our results suggest all the significant couplings between electronic and geometric structures in CNTs.

We fabricated the 1-inch diode type flat lamp using CNTs, which were grown directly on soda-lime glass substrate at 600 ∼ 650 $^{\circ}C$ by thermal chemical vapor deposition(CVD) of acetylene gas. Turn- on field was about 2.8 V/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. We observed that uniform and high brightness had been obtained. The brightness of CNT flat lamp was measured up to about 14 kcd/$m^2$ at 2000V in spacing of 500 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The results showed that the CNTs were very good emission source and suitable for application in the lamp.

In thisstudy, the vibration problem ofthermo elastic carbon nanotubes conveying pulsating viscous nano fluid subjected to a longitudinal magnetic field is investigated via Euler-Bernoulli beam model. The controlling partial differential equation of motion is arrived by adopting Eringen's non local theory. The instability domain and pulsation frequency of the CNT is obtained through the Galerkin's method. The numerical evaluation of thisstudy is devised by Haar wavelet method (HWM). Then, the proposed model is validated by analyzing the critical buckling load computed in presentstudy with the literature. Finally, the numerical calculation ofsystem parameters are shown as dispersion graphs and tables over non local parameter, magnetic flux, temperature difference, Knudsen number and viscous parameter.
