Many different applications have been looked into, such as nanotechnology, electronics, and biomedical applications.Recently, it has been suggested that SWNTs may act as a tunnel between the p-n junction in a solar cell. In this thesis, the temperature dependence of the activation energy between SWNTs and metal electrodes was looked at, using a mixture of gold, aluminum and copper electrodes. Because we formed a Schottky barrier between the semiconducting SWNTs and the metal electrode, we know that the decrease in activation energy allows the electrons and holes to travel quicker and easier than at higher temperatures. 2015 English text University of Toledo / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1438958818 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1438958818 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
