  29. Lec 24: Consider an (n, n) armchair CNT. This is where the periodic boundary condition on kX comes from in: That leaves just kY as open, MD calls it just k. VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13

  42. If it looked the same in 2008 as in 1992, there are some problems that people are still trying to solve! VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13

  43. Expected performance: Polyphenylene and Polyactetylene • Quasi-ballistic like graphene and SWCNTs Actual performance: Polyphenylene and Polyactetylene • Slow • Variable VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13

  44. Factors that affect transport: • Availability of electrons AND empty states to take them • Scattering: • Particle-like: Lf < Lm < L • Wavelike (ballistic): L < Lm < Lf • Electrons in a 2D or 1D structure are wavelike and therefore should have limited scattering • Transport mechanism: • Diffusion • Tunnelling • Ballistic (Plasmon) • Charge transfer • Soliton (Polaron) • Exciton • Hopping • Injection (Contacts) VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13
