摘要
In this paper we present a study of transport properties modification of Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWNT) interacting with the most common used alkali metals. We report resistivity measurements of SWNT mats as a function of Na, K, Cs and Li doping. Our results show that as alkali exposure increases, the doped sample resistance decreases, denoting a progressive sample metallization. Furthermore, the resistivity depends upon the deposited alkali species. We hypothesize that both atomic radius and specific conductivity of doping species can affect the transport properties.
