IMPROVED CARBON NANOTUBE BASED SEMICONDUCTING DEVICES AND METHODS FOR THEIR PRODUCTION

摘要

synthesising carbon nanotubes; adapting the synthesised carbon nanotubes to provide a surface defect such as to create an effective band gap; selecting an organic semiconductor material which facilitates the efficient energy transfer between carbon nanotubes and the organic material, wherein the organic ma¬terial is selected such that the energy band gap formed between the HOMO and LUMO energy levels lies within the effective band gap of the adapted carbon nanotubes; combining the adapted carbon nanotubes and the selected organic material to form a composite material.
