Electrical conductance and breakdown in individual CNx multiwalled nanotubes

Journal article

Doping of carbon nanotubes with nitrogen during growth strongly modifies their electronic structure through n -type doping. This provides the possibility of producing nanotubes with high conductances, independent of tube chirality. To date, electrical measurements on individual nitrogen-doped multiwalled nanotubes (C Nx MWNTs) have reported surprisingly low conductances (∼0.01 G0). Here the authors present high conductance (1.0±0.3 G0) measurements at low bias for individual C Nx MWNTs. Condu...
