Resumen
Los investigadores desarrollaron un método para el crecimiento de matrices densas y altamente alineadas de nanotubos de carbono semiconductores de pared única (SWNT) en sustratos hexagonales de nitruro de boro (hBN). Este avance permite dispositivos electrónicos de alto rendimiento con una mejor movilidad y relaciones de encendido/apagado.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Ciencias de los materiales
- Nanotecnología
- Física de la materia condensada
Sus antecedentes:
- Los circuitos integrados de alto rendimiento requieren matrices densas y alineadas de nanotubos de carbono de pared única puramente semiconductores (SWNT).
- Lograr el crecimiento controlado de SWNT con quiralidad uniforme sigue siendo un desafío importante en la fabricación de dispositivos de semiconductores.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Informar sobre el crecimiento directo de matrices SWNT bien alineadas en sustratos hexagonales de nitruro de boro (hBN).
- Investigar el mecanismo de crecimiento y el rendimiento del dispositivo de las matrices SWNT fabricadas en hBN.
Principales métodos:
- Crecimiento directo de las matrices SWNT en sustratos hBN.
- Simulaciones de dinámica molecular para aclarar el mecanismo de crecimiento de autoensamblaje.
- Fabricación y caracterización de transistores de efecto de campo (FET) utilizando las matrices SWNT desarrolladas.
Principales resultados:
- Se ha demostrado el crecimiento directo de matrices SWNT compactas con alta alineación y quiralidad uniforme en hBN.
- Las simulaciones de dinámica molecular indicaron un mecanismo de crecimiento de autoensamblaje impulsado por la atracción de van der Waals y baja fricción.
- Los FET construidos a partir de matrices SWNT exhibieron un alto rendimiento a temperatura ambiente: movilidades de hasta 2000 cm2/Vs, relaciones de encendido/apagado de ~107 y densidad de corriente de ~6 mA/μm.
Conclusiones:
- El método de crecimiento directo en hBN permite la fabricación de matrices SWNT de alta calidad adecuadas para circuitos integrados.
- El mecanismo de autoensamblaje proporciona una vía para el crecimiento controlado de nanoestructuras ordenadas.
- El alto rendimiento de los FET basados en SWNT destaca el potencial de este enfoque para la electrónica de próxima generación.

02:18Network Covalent Solids
13.3K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Crystal Field Theory
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.

02:25Chirality
22.8K
Chirality is a term that describes the lack of mirror symmetry in an object. In other words, chiral objects cannot be superposed on their mirror images. For example, our feet are chiral, as the mirror image of the left foot, the right foot, cannot be superposed on the left foot.
Chiral objects exhibit a sense of handedness when they interact with another chiral object. For example, our left foot can only fit in the left shoe and not in the right shoe. Achiral objects — objects that have...

02:30Chirality at Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur
5.7K
Chirality is most prevalent in carbon-based tetrahedral compounds, but this important facet of molecular symmetry extends to sp3-hybridized nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur centers, including trivalent molecules with lone pairs. Here, the lone pair behaves as a functional group in addition to the other three substituents to form an analogous tetrahedral center that can be chiral.
A consequence of chirality is the need for enantiomeric resolution. While this is theoretically possible for all...

Tetrahedral Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
