Carbon Nanotube PropertiesCarbon Nanotube Properties
• Graphene sheet 2D E(k//,k)
– Quantization of transverse wavevectors
k (along tube circumference)
Nanotube 1D E(k//)
• Nanotube 1D density-of-states derived from [E(k//)/k]-1
• Get E(k//) vs. k(k//,k) from Tight-Binding Approximation

• low m* - maybe good for tunneling transistor to reduce sub-threshold slope
• low m* and long mfp - high mobility - good for ION, gm, fT
- high conductivity - good for interconnects
- also, may help collection in polymer solar cells
• m*e = m*h - ambipolar conduction, maybe good for electroluminescence
• cylindrical shape - good for combating SCE
Properties relevant to devices discussed at PisaProperties relevant to devices discussed at Pisa
Other device possibilities:Other device possibilities:
• molecular size - may be useful as a molecular sensor
• biological compatibility - perhaps devices can be assembled via biological recognition.

• Need full QM treatment to compute:
-- Q(z) within barrier regions
-- Q in evanescent states (MIGS)
-- resonance, coherence
-- S D tunneling.
