Multi-Band Mobility in Semiconducting Carbon Nanotubes
arXiv:0907.1261 · doi:10.1109/LED.2009.2027615
Abstract
We present new data and a compact mobility model for single-wall carbon nanotubes, with only two adjustable parameters, the elastic and inelastic collision mean free paths at 300 K. The mobility increases with diameter, decreases with temperature, and has a more complex dependence on charge density. The model and data suggest the room temperature mobility does not exceed 10,000 cm2/V.s at high carrier density (n > 0.5 nm-1) for typical single-wall nanotube diameters, due to the strong scattering effect of the second subband.
