Cooling carbon nanotubes to the phononic ground state with constant electron current
Stefano Zippilli, Giovanna Morigi, Adrian Bachtold
We present a quantum theory of cooling of a mechanical resonator using back-action with constant electron current. The resonator device is based on a doubly clamped nanotube, which…
The environment of graphene probed by electrostatic force microscopy
J. Moser, A. Verdaguer, D. Jimenez +2
We employ electrostatic force microscopy to study the electrostatic environment of graphene sheets prepared with the micro-mechanical exfoliation technique. We detect the electric…
Current-induced cleaning of graphene
J. Moser, A. Barreiro, A. Bachtold
A simple yet highly reproducible method to suppress contamination of graphene at low temperature inside the cryostat is presented. The method consists of applying a current of seve…
Counting and manipulating single electrons using a carbon nanotube transistor
An. Gruneis, M. J. Esplandiu, D. Garcia-Sanchez +1
We report on the electric measurements of an individual Au nanoparticle with an ultra-high contact resistance of about . The high-impedance measurements have been carrie…
Beyond the Linearity of Current-Voltage Characteristics in Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes
B. Bourlon, C. Miko, L. Forro +2
We present local and non-local electron transport measurements on individual multi-wall nanotubes for bias voltage between 0 and about 4 V. Local current-voltage characteristics ar…
Cotunneling and one-dimensional localization in individual single-wall carbon nanotubes
B. Gao, D. C. Glattli, B. Placais +1
We report on the temperature dependence of the intrinsic resistance of long individual disordered single-wall carbon nanotubes. The resistance grows dramatically as the temperature…
