Carbon nanotubes functionalized with dye molecules and metal nanoparticles

Tilman Assmus

Single-walled carbon nanotubes are highly interesting quasi one-dimensional nanostructures. They possess a multitude of fascinating optical, mechanical and electrical properties, which can be even further expanded through appropriate functionalization stra ...

Trapping Individual Carbon Nanotubes

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Anupama Arun

A technique to deterministically manipulate individual Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) has been the brick-wall for the boom of CNT based devices. Here we demonstrate dielectrophoresis as an efficient technique to trap individual Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCN ...

Catalytically grown carbon nanotubes: from synthesis to toxicity

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Jin Won Seo, Kyumin Lee, Mirko Milas

Catalytic chemical vapour deposition (CCVD) is currently the most promising technique to produce carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on a specific site as well as on a large-scale. Here, we review our recent experimental studies on CNTs grown by CCVD. The yield as wel ...

Manipulation of individual carbon nanotubes

Mirko Milas

Carbon nanotubes the long, cylindrical carbon molecules are the most exciting material discovered lately. They offer the possibility for a large number of applications. My task was to explore the way how we can use multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) in s ...

EPFL2006

In the framework of this thesis molecular nanostructures have been engineered on surfaces and are characterized using a variety of techniques. Two types of molecules have been used: carbon nanotubes (CNT) and 4-[trans-2-(pyrid-4-yl-vinyl)] benzoic acid (PV ...

Longueur de diffusion de spin et magnétisme de structures nanotubes de carbone / matériaux ferromagnétiques

Xavier Hoffer

The aim of this thesis work is to study the spin-dependent transport in multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT). To do so, the electrical resistance of MWNT contacted between ferromagnetic electrodes has been measured, as a function of the contacts magnetic co ...

Carbon nanotubes and nanostructures grown from diamond-like carbon and polyethylene

We report a simple way to synthesize carbon nanotubes and nanostructures from the solid phase. Vacuum annealing of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films or polyethylene mixed with catalyst in argon atmosphere leads to the formation of nanotubes and nanostructure ...
