A competition between a charge transfer to the SWCNT pods and one to the C60 peas is observed. At low intercalation levels the charge transfer is predominantly to the SWCNT pods. This leads to a shift of the Fermi level beyond the third van Hove singularity of the semiconducting tubes for potassium intercalation (n‐doping) and beyond the first singularity of the metallic tubes for FeCl3 intercalation (p‐doping), respectively. In addition at high levels of potassium intercalation the C60 pods are charged up to C606− and form a metallic one dimensional polymer.","PeriodicalId":196292,"journal":{"name":"Structural and Electronic Properties of Molecular Nanostructures.

Films are grown by thermal chemical vapour deposition on silicon substrates with iron as a catalyst particle. Different types of films are investigated: vertically aligned MWNT with clean and coated nanotube sidewalls. SEM, TEM and Raman spectroscopy has been used in order to determine the structure of the different films. The results show that the aligned MWNT films have excellent field emission properties with high emission current densities and low turn‐on and threshold fields. They also show that the presence of a surface coating with amorphous carbon has no impact on the efficiency of the field emission. The current density as a function of applied electric field (on multiple cycles) is reproducible up to a value of 1 mA/cm2. Exceeding this value leads to light emission from the carbon nanotube film at the investigated spot. Spectral measurements of this light shows a purely blackbody radiation effect with ...","PeriodicalId":196292,"journal":{"name":"Structural and Electronic Properties of Molecular Nanostructures.

The mechanism that leads to the mode softening is reminiscent of the driving force inducing Peierls distortions, but the energy gained by opening the gap is not sufficient for a static lattice distortion. Instead, the corresponding vibrational frequency is lowered.","PeriodicalId":196292,"journal":{"name":"Structural and Electronic Properties of Molecular Nanostructures.

In the second part we refine our model in order to study the charge profile within a single layer.

Suspensions formed in toluene with these oligomers and the single wall carbon nanotubes are seen to be stable over prolonged periods. Spectroscopic analysis clearly shows an interaction between the carbon nanotubes and the oligomers. It is proposed in this study that the use of these more simple molecular systems may help elucidate the nature and extent of the interaction in more complex composite based systems.","PeriodicalId":196292,"journal":{"name":"Structural and Electronic Properties of Molecular Nanostructures.
