Electronic properties of air-sensitive nanomaterials probed with microwave impedance measurements

Abstract

Characterization of electronic properties of novel materials is of great importance for exploratory materials development and also for the discovery of new correlated phases. As several novel compounds are available in powder form only, contactless methods, which also work on air sensitive samples, are higly desired. We present that the microwave cavity perturbation technique is a versatile tool to study conductivity in such systems. The examples include studies on semiconducting-metallic crossover in carbon nanotubes upon alkali doping, study of vortex motion in the K${}_3$C${}_{60}$ superconductor, and the characterization of various alkali atom doped phases of black phosphorus.
