C60 filling reduces ρ much less than alkali metal doping at all T, indicating weak charge transfer. κ is enhanced by filling, the enhancement showing interesting structure vs. T for which we give a tentative explanation. S is reduced at all T by C60 filling, which we explain by a) C60@SWNT blocking some of the oxygen doping sites, and b) weak disorder on the 1‐D chain which reduces the mean free path of tube phonons and thus the phonon drag contribution.","PeriodicalId":196292,"journal":{"name":"Structural and Electronic Properties of Molecular Nanostructures.

The binding energies for adsorption on SWNT bundles and HOPG at low coverages are 18.5 kJ/mol and 12.0 kJ/mol, respectively. Molecular mechanics calculations using van der Waals pair‐potentials show that the higher binding energy found for adsorption on SWNT bundles can be attributed to van der Waals interactions and is due to higher coordinated sites available for adsorption on the tube bundles. We find no evidence for a stronger bound, chemisorbed oxygen species or for dissociative adsorption. We also present preliminary results on the kinetics of desorption of C60 from nanotube bundles and from HOPG.","PeriodicalId":196292,"journal":{"name":"Structural and Electronic Properties of Molecular Nanostructures.

The modulation of the filling of van Hove singularities is reflected by the intensity variations of the optical excitations. The intensity of the interband transitions is dramatically affected, demonstrating the possibility of tuning the Fermi level to specific bands upon doping.","PeriodicalId":196292,"journal":{"name":"Structural and Electronic Properties of Molecular Nanostructures.
