摘要:

利用半经典Boltzmann方程,理论上研究了在无掺杂的扶手椅型碳纳米管(CN)中,通过将两个频率相同的相干电磁波(ω和2 ω)混频产生直流电的效应。我们将扶手椅的结果与相同条件下的锯齿形碳纳米管的结果进行了比较(即,当归一化电流相对于振幅作图时)。除了锯齿形电流峰值的绝对值约为扶手椅电流峰值的1.1倍外,它们在数量上是一致的。我们注意到,电流为负值,类似于在锯齿形氯化萘中观察到的电流,说明了相同的效果。然而,有趣的是,注意到归一化电流对Ω τ的曲线图显示扶手椅比锯齿形大约1.1倍,这是相反的。我们还观察到,当相移θ位于π除以2和3 π除以2之间时,存在反转并且电流变为正。我们建议使用这种方法的产生太赫兹辐射,也用于测定碳纳米管中的电子的弛豫时间。

英文摘要:

Using semiclassical Boltzmann equation we have studied theoretically an effect of a direct current (DC) generation in undoped armchair carbon nanotube (CN) by mixing two coherent electromagnetic waves with commensurate frequencies i.e omega and 2 omega . We compared the results of the armchair with that of the zigzag carbon nanotubes for the same conditions (i.e. when the normalized current is plotted against the amplitude). Quantitatively they agree with each other except that the absolute value of the peaks of the current for zigzag is about 1.1 times that of the armchair. We noticed that the current is negative similar to that observed in zigzag CNs describing the same effect. However it is interesting to note that graph of normalized current against omega tau showed that the armchair is greater than that of the zigzag for about 1.1 times which is opposite. We also observed that when the phase shift theta lies between pi divided by 2 and 3 pi divided by 2 there is an inversion and the current becomes positive. We suggest the use of this approach for the generation of terahertz radiation and also for the determination of the relaxation time of electrons in carbon nanotubes.
