碳纳米管绳中的无序诱导横向离域

Disorder induced transverse delocalisation in ropes of carbon nanotubes

M. Ferrier, A. Chepelianskii, S. Guéron, H. Bouchiat

摘要:

碳纳米管绳由直径几乎相同的平行单壁纳米管阵列构成。在大多数情况下,绳内的单个纳米管具有不同的螺旋度,其中1/3是金属的。在管内没有无序的情况下,由于不同螺旋度的相邻管之间的纵波矢量失配,管间电子转移可以忽略不计。然后,绳可以被认为是多个平行的独立弹道纳米管。另一方面,管内无序的存在有利于管间电子转移。这是第一次显示使用一个非常简单的模型,其中的障碍是治疗微扰的工作参考\cite{maarouf00}的启发。然后,我们提出了一个紧束缚模型的绳子上的数值模拟。无序引起的横向离域表现为一个壮观的增加的灵敏度的横向边界条件中存在的小障碍。这伴随着纵向定位长度的增加。电子输运的性质内的碳纳米管绳的影响进行了讨论。

英文摘要:

A rope of carbon nanotubes is constituted of an array of parallel single wall nanotubes with nearly identical diameters. In most cases the individual nanotubes within a rope have different helicities and 1/3 of them are metallic. In the absence of disorder within the tubes, the intertube electronic transfer is negligeable because of the longitudinal wave vector mismatch between neighboring tubes of different helicities. The rope can then be considered as a number of parallel independent ballistic nanotubes. On the other hand, the presence of disorder within the tubes favors the intertube electronic transfer. This is first shown using a very simple model where disorder is treated perturbatively inspired by the work in reference \cite{maarouf00}. We then present numerical simulations on a tight binding model of a rope. Disorder induced transverse delocalisation shows up as a spectacular increase of the sensitivity to the transverse boundary conditions in the presence of small disorder. This is accompanied by an increase of the longitudinal localisation length. Implications on the nature of electronic transport within a rope of carbon nanotubes are discussed.
