摘要
We have fabricated electronic devices based on single-walled boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs). Our measurements indicate that all BNNTs are semiconducting, and p-doped. Temperature dependence of two terminal transport experiments suggests that at low drain fields, transport is dominated by thermionic emission over 250 - 300 meV Schottky contact barriers. Gate-induced barrier modulation was observed in vertically scaled devices, resulting in field-effect transistor operation. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
