C(59)N Peapods Sensing the Temperature

We report the novel photoresponse of nanodevices made from azafullerene (C(59)N)-encapsulated single-walled carbon nanotubes (C(59)N@SWNTs), so called peapods. The photoconducting properties of a C(59)N@SWNT are measured over a temperature range of 10 to 300 K under a field-effect transistor configu...

description We report the novel photoresponse of nanodevices made from azafullerene (C(59)N)-encapsulated single-walled carbon nanotubes (C(59)N@SWNTs), so called peapods. The photoconducting properties of a C(59)N@SWNT are measured over a temperature range of 10 to 300 K under a field-effect transistor configuration. It is found that the photosensitivity of C(59)N@SWNTs depends very sensitively on the temperature, making them an attractive candidate as a component of nanothermometers covering a wide temperature range. Our results indicate that it is possible to read the temperature by monitoring the optoelectronics signal of C(59)N@SWNTs. In particular, sensing low temperatures would become more convenient and easy by giving a simple light pulse.
