Scanning photocurrent microscopy study of photovoltaic and thermoelectric effects in individual single-walled carbon nanotubes

Creator:

DeBorde, Tristan

Abstract:

Carbon Nanotubes are a unique family of nanostructures that have shown remarkable promise for mechanical, electrical, and optical applications. Fundamentally similar to the earlier discovered Buckminsterfullerene (C₆₀), carbon nanotubes are hollow cylinders formed from a single sheet of carbon atoms. The research presented in this dissertation investigates several carbon nanotube...

Nonlinear terahertz spectroscopy of carbon nanomaterials and semiconductor nanostructures

Creator:

Paul, Michael Jason

Abstract:

This thesis will cover my work relating to the developing field of terahertz (THz) science and technology. It will present experimental and theoretical studies investigating the optical and electrical properties of various material systems using novel THz imaging and spectroscopy techniques. Due to its low photon energy, THz imaging and...

Terahertz transmission & spectroscopy of vertically grown multi-walled carbon nanotube forests

Creator:

Maizy, Louis

Abstract:

In this thesis, I present studies in the field of terahertz [THz] spectroscopy. It covers both the generation and detection of ultra-fast broadband THz pulses, as well as the transmission properties of vertically grown multi-walled carbon nanotube forests [MWCNTs]. We have found that these vertically grown MWCNTs respond strongly to...
