High-Field, Quasi-Ballistic Transport in Short Carbon Nanotubes
arXiv:cond-mat/0309242 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.92.106804
Abstract
Single walled carbon nanotubes with Pd ohmic contacts and lengths ranging from several microns down to 10 nm are investigated by electron transport experiments and theory. The mean free path (mfp) for acoustic phonon scattering is estimated to be lap~300 nm, and that for optical phonon scattering is lop~15 nm. Transport through very short (~10 nm) nanotubes is free of significant acoustic and optical phonon scattering and thus ballistic and quasi-ballistic at the low and high bias voltage limits respectively. High currents of up to 70 uA can flow through a short nanotube. Possible mechanisms for the eventual electrical breakdown of short nanotubes at high fields are discussed. The results presented here have important implications to high performance nanotube transistors and interconnects.
