Excitons in narrow-gap carbon nanotubes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We calculate the exciton binding energy in single-walled carbon nanotubes with narrow band gaps, accounting for the quasi-relativistic dispersion of electrons and holes.

Multimodal Characterization Method for Metamaterials with Tunable Mechanical Stiffness and Electrical Resistivity

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a multimodal characterization method for a prototype metamaterial model structure that features four distinct states of mechanical stiffness and electrical resistivity. Through simulations and experiments, it uncovers insights into the structural behavior, the correlation between changes in electrical resistivity and mechanical ...

A 3D Multilevel Heterostructure Containing 2D Vertically Aligned MoS2 Nanosheets and 1D Sandwich C-MoS2-C Nanotubes to Enhance the Storage of Li+ Ions

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2023
To overcome the disadvantages of the MoS2 anode for LIBs in terms of low intrinsic conductivity, poor mechanical stability, and adverse reaction with electrolytes, a 3D multilevel heterostructure (VANS-MoS2-CNTs) has been successfully prepared by a ...

Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy of Suspended Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes

open access: yes, 2004
We have performed low-temperature STM measurements on single-wall carbon nanotubes that are freely suspended over a trench. The nanotubes were grown by CVD on a Pt substrate with predefined trenches etched into it.

Carbon nanotubes as multifunctional biological transporters and near-infrared agents for selective cancer cell destruction. [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2005
Biological systems are known to be highly transparent to 700- to 1,100-nm near-infrared (NIR) light. It is shown here that the strong optical absorbance of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in this special spectral window, an intrinsic property of ...

Microcellular Poly (Ethylene‐Co‐Vinyl Acetate)/Lignin Nanocomposites for Soft Ferroelectrets

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Lignin valorization for advanced porous polymer nanocomposites development and an upscaling route for continuous manufacturing of soft ferroelectrets for energy harvesting are studied. This work examines the role of lignin and carbon nanotubes (CNT) in modifying the mechanical, dielectric, and ferroelectret properties of poly (ethylene‐co‐vinyl acetate)
