©1997 The American Physical Society. The electronic version of this article is the complete one and can be found online at: http://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevLett.79.2570DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.79.2570Self-assembling of size, shape, and phase controlled nanocrystals into superlattices with translational and even orientational ordering is a new approach for engineering nanocrystal materials and devices. High purity tetrahedral nanocrystals of CoO, with edge lengths of 4.4±0.2 nm, were synthesized and separated from Co nanocrystals, using a novel magnetic field phase-selection technique. Self-assembling of the faceted CoO nanocrystals forms ordered superlattices, the structures of which are determined
Proximity and anomalous field-effect characteristics in double-wall carbon nanotubes
Proximity effect on field-effect characteristic (FEC) in double-wall carbon
nanotubes (DWCNTs) is investigated. In a semiconductor-metal (S-M) DWCNT, the
penetration of electron wavefunctions in the metallic shell to the
semiconducting shell turns the original semiconducting tube into a metal with a
non-zero local density of states at the Fermi level. By using a two-band
tight-binding model on a ladder of two legs, it is demonstrated that anomalous
FEC observed in so-called S-M type DWCNTs can be fully understood by the
proximity effect of metallic phases.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
