Electron Transport Studies in Single-walled Carbon Nanotubules (IRG-II related seed)

Leader:

Research Goals

In this seed project, the goal is to understand the fundamental physical principles governing the electron transport in nanotubes, and to investigate their potential as building blocks for future electronic devices. To date we have worked out the fabrication procedures to make suspended single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) and to study the electronic and optic properties of nanotubes. We have successfully built the setup to detect photoconductivity measurement with individual SWNT devices. We have been working on the setting up of low temperature equipment, using Labview to control the electronics to perform automatic measurement.
