•Molecular adsorption at interstitial, groove and pore sites.
•No “bulk atoms”…only surface atoms…electrical transport should be sensitive to gas:SWNT interactions
•It takes time for atoms and molecules to saturate the surface via diffusion and to gain access to internal pores and channels

Effects of Gas:SWNT Collisions
Gas molecule collisions with the tube wall should affect the electron mean free path:
• ?Direct scattering of electrons by atom collisions?
• ?Generate a transient “dent”; non-thermal phonons then scatter electrons?

Computed Transient Power Spectrum (Local Vibrational Modes)
Simulations by K. Bolton and A. Rosen, Goteborg University/Chalmers Tech. Univ.
•Local energy spectrum; Derived from motion of C-atom nearest the collision(Ttube= 0 K).
•The amplitude of vibration, not the frequencies, are sensitive to the collideratom mass m
•Radial component of kinetic energy is key parameter
•The tube wall is dented, and then it rings in the low frequency “squash” mode
•Significant vibrational energy remains after 10 ps; 2-acoustic phonon decay

Why do (S,ρ) saturate with pressure?
• Q = P/(2πmkT)1/2 collisions/area.time, P = pressure
• Overlapping Dents QAτ = 1 collision, Area A~d2
•Use Kinetic theory of Gases; Ask: What collision rate Q causes two dents with lifetime τ and diameter d to overlap?

Motivation
• Exciting transport results in ultrathin graphitic films containing a few atomic layers have been reported– `High carrier mobility; gate-controlled transport;
Quantum Hall effect (Kim et al; de Heer et al)
• We call these carbon systems n-graphene layer films or nGL’s
• Using phonons to probe the system vs number of layers (n)…..how will the system evolve?

Summary: Chemical Sensors• Carbon Nanotube and Semiconducting
Nanowire FETs show great promise as real-time analytical tools– There is much to be learned about the sensing
mechanism (charge transfer vs electronic scattering)
• HOWEVER, the SWNT cylindrical shell geometry should be the most sensitive. We find it is even sensitive to:– physisorption (with little or no charge transfer)– even collisions of inert gas atoms with the tube wall
NT ‘06 , Nagano
Summary: Raman Scattering from nGLs
• Raman Scattering useful to characterize the number of layers in an nGL film
• 1st order G-band– Contains one Lorentzian– G-band upshifts with decreasing n: ωG(n) ~ ωGraphite + 7 cm-1(1/n)
• 2nd Order bands – Stronger than G-band for n<5 (unusual behavior!)– Mid-freq band (~2700 cm-1) exhibits shape specific to n– ~2450 cm-1 and ~3250 cm-1 bands not sensitive to n
• D-bands– Intensity decreases exponentially with n– D-scattering may indicate an n-dependent bending of the thinnest
films to conform to the substrate roughness– A weak ~1500 cm-1 D-band is also n-specific; downshifts with
increasing n
