Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of nitrogen doping on the mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes.
Yogeeswaran Ganesan,Cheng Peng,Yang Lu,Lijie Ci,Anchal Srivastava,Pulickel M. Ajayan,Jun Lou +6 more
TL;DR: A simple microfabricated device that works in conjunction with a quantitative Nanoindenter within a scanning electron microscope (SEM) chamber, for the in situ quantitative tensile testing of individual catalytically grown pristine and nitrogen-doped multiwall carbon nanotubes was used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low Contact Barrier in 2H/1T' MoTe2 In-Plane Heterostructure Synthesized by Chemical Vapor Deposition.
Xiang Zhang,Zehua Jin,Luqing Wang,Jordan A. Hachtel,Eduardo Villarreal,Zixing Wang,Teresa Ha,Yusuke Nakanishi,Chandra Sekhar Tiwary,Jiawei Lai,Liangliang Dong,Jihui Yang,Robert Vajtai,Emilie Ringe,Juan Carlos Idrobo,Boris I. Yakobson,Jun Lou,Vincent Gambin,Rachel Koltun,Pulickel M. Ajayan +19 more
TL;DR: This one-step CVD method to synthesize large-area, seamless-bonding 2D lateral metal-semiconductor junction can improve the performance of 2D electronic and optoelectronic devices, paving the way for large-scale 2D integrated circuits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly aligned scalable platinum-decorated single-wall carbon nanotube arrays for nanoscale electrical interconnects.
Young L. Kim,Bo Li,Xiaohong An,Myung Gwan Hahm,Li Chen,Morris Washington,Pulickel M. Ajayan,Saroj K. Nayak,Ahmed Busnaina,Swastik Kar,Yung Joon Jung +10 more
TL;DR: Ab initio density functional theory calculations indicate that the increase in conductivity of the nanotubes is caused by an increase in conduction channels close to their Fermi levels due to the platinum nanocluster decoration, with a possible conversion of the semiconducting single-wall carbon nanot tubes into metallic ones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anisotropic thermal diffusivity of aligned multiwall carbon nanotube arrays
Theodorian Borca-Tasciuc,Saeid Vafaei,Diana-Andra Borca-Tasciuc,Bingqing Wei,Robert Vajtai,Pulickel M. Ajayan +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a photothermoelectric technique was employed to determine the anisotropic thermal diffusivity of thick arrays of multiwalled carbon nanotubes grown by chemical-vapor deposition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Facile Preparation of Ordered Porous Graphene–Metal Oxide@C Binder‐Free Electrodes with High Li Storage Performance
Jixin Zhu,Jixin Zhu,Dan Yang,Xianhong Rui,Daohao Sim,Hong Yu,Harry E. Hoster,Pulickel M. Ajayan,Qingyu Yan +8 more
TL;DR: A facile and general method is reported to prepare ordered porous graphene-based binder-free electrodes on a large scale, which allows the easy adjustment of the selected components, weight ratio of componets, and the thickness of the electrodes.
