Conductivity Properties of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Upon the Encapsulation of TTF and TCNQ
Abstract:
N-type and p-type single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were formed via the encapsulation of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and 7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane (TCNQ) inside SWNTs, respectively. Raman, near-infrared, and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer were used to confirm the encapsulation. From measurements of the current-voltage curves in a vacuum, it was revealed that current of TTF-encapsulated SWNTs decreased and TCNQ-encapsulated SWNTs increased comparing with that of pristine SWNTs. This was resulted from electron-donating (TTF) and withdrawing (TCNQ) character into SWNTs.
