Article: Record Endurance for Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube-Based Memory Cell.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We study memory devices consisting of single-walled carbon nanotube transistors with charge storage at the SiO(2)/nanotube interface. We show that this type of memory device is robust, withstanding over 10(5) operating cycles, with a current drive capability up to 10(-6) A at 20 mV drain bias, thus competing with state-of-the-art Si-devices. We find that the device performance depends on temperature and pressure, while both endurance and data retention are improved in vacuum.Nanoscale Research Letters 01/2010; 5(11):1852-1855. · 2.73 Impact Factor -
Article: Alcohol Vapor Sensors Based on Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistors
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The authors have measured conductance of single-walled semiconducting C nanotubes in field-effect transistor (FET) geometry and studied the device response to alc. vapors. The authors observe significant changes in FET drain current when the device is exposed to various kinds of alc. vapors. These responses are reversible and reproducible over many cycles of vapor exposure. C nanotube FETs are sensitive to a wide range of alc. vapors. [on SciFinder (R)]Nano Letters. 01/2003; 3:877-881. -
Article: Two-terminal nonvolatile memories based on single-walled carbon nanotubes.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Reproducible current hysteresis is observed in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) measured in a two-terminal configuration without a gate electrode. On the basis of this hysteresis, a two-terminal nonvolatile memory is realized by applying voltage pulses of opposite polarities across the SWCNT. Charge trapping at the SWCNT/SiO(2) interface is proposed to account for the observed phenomena; this explanation is supported by the direct correlation between the switching behaviors and SWCNT carrier types. In particular, a change in dominant carrier type induced by adsorbates in air leads to the direct transition of hysteresis evolution in the same device, providing further evidence for the proposed mechanism.ACS Nano 11/2009; 3(12):4122-6. · 10.77 Impact Factor
