  1. SergueiBrazovskii and Natasha Kirova Natal 2012 Physics of synthetic conductors as low dimensional correlated electronic systems. Lecture 1, part 2 THE WOLD OF CARBON

  2. Energy Crystal Isolated atom « More isdifferent. »P.W. Anderson Molecularcrystals, narrow bands, propertiesare determinedmainly by individualmolecules Metals, semiconductors, dielectrics, band picture

  3. All Dimesionalities from Carbon • 0D quantum dots – C60 • 1D quantum wires – carbon nanotubes • 1D polymer chain – carbyne -(C C)- • 2D layer - graphene • 2D layered material - graphite • 3D wide gap semicond. - diamond

  4. Zero dimensional: • Fullerene (C60) –socker ball • Cage diameter - 0.71 nm • Optical gap – 1.9 V • Crystalline Fullerene • fcc structure • with lattice constant of 1.417 nm • C60-C60 distance – 1.002 nm

  5. Multi-wall 1991 Single-wall 1993 1nm AFM image One dimensional: Carbon nanotubes Carbyne – linear polymer chain of C atoms Yung modulus 40 times of diamond Can be very good conductor thin (1nm) and resistant

  6. Two dimensional - graphene Basic block – benzene ring

  7. Three dimensional: graphite; diamond

  8. Graphite and diamond

  9. Q. Where the difference comes from? A. Hybridization of the orbitals. Q. Why we need the hybridization? A. We gain the kinetic energy. Q. What does it mean the hybridization? A. See next slides.

  10. Carbon Atomic Orbitals • Carbon has 6 electrons. • Average atomic weight 12.011 amu • Electronic configuration: 1s22s22p2 2p2 2s2 1s2

  11. p and s bonds • Two side-to-side 2porbitals form a p bond. • Two co-axial 2porbitalsform the s bond.

  12. Carbon: Hybridized Orbitals There are four valence electrons. In the ground state valence is 2 (rem. CO). But electron can easy come from 2s2 to 2p2, now the valence is 4 (rem. CO2). 2p2 2s2 1s2 The 2s and 2p wave functions can mix forming hybridized orbitals.

  13. Three possible types of mixing I. SP hybridization Carbyne – linear polymer

  14. Graphite II. SP2 hybridization SP2

  15. Diamond III. SP3 hybridization

Other carbon based materials Saturatedpolymers – traditional plastics SP3 Polyethylene (CH2)x – saturatedpolymerwith all saturated - bonds, all electronsform the chainsceleton H H H H H H C C C C C C H H H H H H SP2 Conjugatedpolymers: linearchains and phenylbasedones Polyacethylene (CH)x H H H H H H C C C C C C C C C C C C H H H H H H shouldbe a metalbut a dielectric, the energy gap 1.5eV

  17. Conductivity of Organic Materials

  18. Optically active polymers Main basic block benzene ring or modified benzene ring, hence SP2 hybridization

  19. Carbon – carbon doping Fullerene in a blend with polymer –charge harvesting for photo-voltaic cells By light we excite electron-hole pair on the polymer chain and electron comes Very fast (10-13s) to the fullerene, so the electron is transfered from carbons of the polymer to the carbons of the fullerene

  20. Some applications of the conducting polymers:Organicdevices Devices produced by UNIAX, the company of A. Heeger Chip made by Phillips Research Lab.
