Herein, insoluble single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) was successfully dispersed into water in the presence of a special kind of surfactant-dicetyl phosphate (DCP), subsequently, a SWNT-DCP composite film coated glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was fabricated. The electrochemical behaviors of 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BAP) at the unmodified GCE and SWNT-DCP modified GCE were examined. It is found that the SWNT-DCP modified GCE remarkably enhances the oxidation peak current of 6-BAP, indicating great potential in the determination of trace level of 6-BAP. Finally, a sensitive and simple voltammetric method with a good linear relationship in the range of ${\times}5.0\;\;10^{-8}\sim 2.5\;{\times}\;10^{-6}$ mol/L, was developed for the determination of 6-BAP. The detection limit is as low as $2.0\;{\times}\;10^{-8}$ mol/L for 3-min accumulation. This newly-proposed method was successfully demonstrated with practical samples.

단일 벽 탄소 나노튜브(SWNT)의 열전도도를 구하기 위해서 메모리함수에 Kubo 등식을 사용하였다. 계산 과정에서 나타나는 발산의 문제를 해결하기 위해 전파인자는 연속 분수과정으로 전개하였다. 이러한 계산에서 메모리함수는 지금까지 제시된 다른 이론들 보다 많은 상호작용의 효과를 고려할 수 있다. SWNT에서 20 K 이하의 저온 영역은 온도의 증가에 따라 열전도도가 증가하며, (9,0) 보다 (10,0)이 다소 큰 값을 가지는데 이는 포논의 평균자유행로 $l_{ph}$가 직경의 크기와 관계 있음을 알 수 있다. 그리고 20 K 이상의 고온 영역에서는 비열이 거의 일정한 값을 가지므로 Umklapp 과정에 의해 열전도도는 감소하면서 최대값을 보이고, SWNT의 직경이 증가할수록 최대값의 위치도 고온 쪽으로 이동하는 것으로 조사되었다.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) exhibit strong Raman signals as well as fluorescence emissions in the near infrared regions where most biomolecules are transparent. Such signals do not blink or photobleach under prolonged excitation. which is advantageous to optical nano-bio marker applications. In this paper, single walled carbon nanotubes are conjugated with specific types of single-stranded DNA in order to detect oligonucleotides of corresponding complimentary sequences. Dot blotting experiments and comparative Raman spectroscopy observations demonstrated excellent sensitivity and specificity of carbon nanotube-DNA probes. The results show the possibility of using SWNT as generic nano-bio markers for the precise detection of specific kinds of genes.

The influence of water molecule on the electrical properties of single-walled carbon nanotube field effect transistors (SWNT-FETs) was reported. Conductance suppression was observed with the increase of the humidity. This can be explained by doping of the SWNT-FETs, which has p-type semiconductor characteristic, with the water molecules acting as an electron donor. However, after 65 % of humidity, conductance of the SWNT-FETs started to increase again, due to the opening of electron channels. Upon annealing at $400^{\circ}C$ in Ar atmosphere, conductance increases more than 500 %, and the threshold voltage shifts toward further positive gate voltages. The results of this experiment support possible application of single-walled carbon nanotubes for humidity sensing material.

Nine deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences were used to functionalize single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) sensors to detect the trace amount of methanol, acetone, and HCl in vapor. DNA 24 Ma (24 randomly arranged nitrogenous bases with one amine at each end of it) decorated SWNT sensor and DNA 24 A (only adenine (A) base with a length of 24) decorated SWNT sensor have demonstrated the largest sensing responses towards acetone and HCl, respectively. On the other hand, for the DNA GT decorated SWNT sensors with different sequence lengths, the optimum DNA sequence length for acetone and HCl sensing is 32 and 8, separately. The detection of methanol, acetone, and HCl have identified that DNA functionalized SWNT sensors exhibit great selectivity, sensitivity, and repeatability with an accuracy of more than 90%. Further, a sensor array composed of SWNT functionalized with various DNA sequences was utilized to identify acetone and HCl through pattern recognition. The sensor array is a combination of four different DNA functionalized SWNT sensors and two bare SWNT sensors (work as reference). This wireless sensing system has enabled real-time gas monitoring and air quality assurance for safety and security.

본 논문에서는 인터디지털 커패시트 기반의 단일벽 탄소 나노 튜브(single-walled carbon nanotube, SWNT)를 이용한 바이오 물질 검출에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 먼저 인터디지털 커패시트의 경우, 다음으로 $5\;{\mu}m$ 틈 사이에 SWNT 경우, 그리고 SWNT 상에 biotin이 고정된 경우, 마지막으로 biotin과 streptavidin이 고정화된 경우, 공진 주파수는 각각 10.02 GHz, 11.02 GHz, 10.82 GHz, 10.22 GHz로 나타났다. 이러한 공진 주파수의 민감한 변화는 유전 상수값이 다른 두 바이오 물질이 결합함에 따라 커패시턴스 값이 달라질 것이라는 가정 하에, 측정된 결과를 근거로 등가회로를 구현함으로써 실제로 커패시턴스 값들이 달라짐을 확인할 수 있었다. SWNT 상에 biotin이 고정된 경우와 biotin과 streptavidin이 고정화된 경우, 커패시턴스 값은 각각 $C_b=0.55\;pF$, $C_s=0.95\;pF$으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해서, 탄소 나노 튜브상에 특정 바이오 물질간의 결합이 커패시턴스 값의 변화를 유발시키게 되고, 이로 인해서 공진 주파수가 변화됨을 실험적으로 증명하였다. 결론적으로, 제안된 바이오 센싱 소자는 표적 바이오 물질(streptavidin)이 결합할 때 큰 공진 주파수 변화를 일으킴으로 CNT 바이오센서로서 충분한 가능성이 있음을 확인하였다.

In this study, the fabrication of through-silicon vias (TSVs) filled with SWNTs/Sn by utilizing surface/bulk micromachining and MEMS technologies is proposed. Tin (Sn) and single-walled nanotube (SWNT) powders are used as TSV interconnector materials in the development of a novel TSV at low temperature. The measured resistance of a TSV filled with SWNT/Sn powder is considerably reduced by increasing the fraction of Sn and is lower than that of a TSV filled with only Sn. This is because of a decrease in the surface scattering of electrons along with an increase in the grain size of sintered SWNTs/Sn. The proposed method is conducted at low temperatures (< $400^{\circ}C$) due to the low melting temperature of Sn; hence, the proposed TSVs filled with SWNTs/Sn can be utilized in CMOS based applications.

We demonstrate the growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) using ethylene-based chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and ferritin-induced catalytic particles toward growth temperature reduction. We first optimized the gas composition of $H_2$ and $C_2H_4$ at 500 and 30 sccm, respectively. On a planar $SiO_2$ substrate, high density SWNTs were grown at a minimum temperature of $760^{\circ}C$. In the case of growth using nanoporous templates, many suspended SWNTs were also observed from the samples grown at $760^{\circ}C$; low values of $I_D/I_G$ in the Raman spectra were also obtained. This means that the temperature of $760^{\circ}C$ is sufficient for SWNT growth in ethylene-based CVD and that ethylene is more effective that methane for low temperature growth. Our results provide a recipe for low temperature growth of SWNT; such growth is crucial for SWNT-based applications.

Forest of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) was grown at $450^{\circ}C$ by water-plasma chemical vapor deposition using ultrathin iron on alumina supporting film. The growth rate of the SWNT forest is ${\sim}0.9\;{\mu}m/min$, and the diameters of nanotubes are mainly in a range of 3.0 ~ 3.5 nm. The low intensity ratio of D- to G-band ($I_D/I_G$ ~ 0.098) in Raman spectra indicates that our SWNT forest grown at $450^{\circ}C$ is fairly pure and crystalline. This low temperature growth of SWNT forest may enable variable applications requiring the vertically-aligned nanotubes to obtain large surface area.
