PatentDOI
Tunable electrical conductivity in metal-organic framework thin film devices
TL;DR: In this paper, a porous metal organic framework (MOF) including an open metal site and a guest species capable of charge transfer that can coordinate with the MOF is constructed, wherein the composition is electrically conductive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theory of enhancement of thermoelectric properties of materials with nanoinclusions
TL;DR: In this article, a theory for the enhancement of the thermoelectric properties of semiconductor materials with metallic nanoinclusions is presented, which is based on the concept of band bending at metal/semiconductor interfaces as an energy filter for electrons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physics of carbon nanotube electronic devices
M. P. Anantram,François Léonard +1 more
TL;DR: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are among the most explored one-dimensional nanostructures and have attracted tremendous interest from fundamental science and technological perspectives as mentioned in this paper.
