摘要:
We analyse the doping dependence of boron substituted single wall carbon nanotubes at high boron content. A specially designed substitution process was used to produce nanotubes with about 15 and 10 at.% of boron. Irrespective of the doping level of boron atoms, the nanotubes still exhibit some unique and common electronic and optical properties. The changes in the electronic properties, of the nanotubes as a function of doping were investigated using bulk sensitive high resolution EELS and optical crystal structure are hardly altered compared to pristine nanotubes.
