Local Electronic Structure

The recent application of tunneling probes in electronic structure studies of carbon nanotubes has proven both powerful and challenging. Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS), local electronic properties in ordered aggregates of carbon nanotubes (multiwalled nanotubes and ropes of single walled nanotubes) have been probed. In this report, we present evidence for interlayer (concentric tube) interactions in multiwalled tubes and tube-tube interactions in singlewalled nanotube ropes. The spatially resolved, local electronic structure, as determined by the local density of electronic states, is shown to clearly reflect tube-tube interactions in both of these aggregate forms.

Spectroscopy Studies

Scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy have been used to characterize the atomic structure and tunneling density of states of individual single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT's) and ropes containing many SWNT's. Analysis of atomically resolved SWNT images shows that the nanotubes consist of a wide range of diameters and helicities with no one structure clearly dominant. Tunneling spectroscopy measurements made simultaneously on atomically resolved SWNT's exhibit semiconducting and metallic behavior that depend predictably on helicity and diameter. In addition the band gaps of the semiconducting tubes were also found to depend inversely on diameter. These results are compared to theoretical predictions, and the implications of these studies as well as important future directions are discussed.
