摘要: The electron transport properties of semiconducting carbon nanotube (SCNT) Schottky diodes are investigated with atomic models using density functional theory and the non-equilibrium Green's function method. We model SCNT diode as a embedded in metal electrode, which resembles experimental set-up. Our study reveals that rectification behaviour is mainly due to asymmetric transmission distribution conduction valence bands can be improved by changing metal-SCNT contact geometries. threshold voltage depends on barrier height tuned altering diameter SCNT. Contrary traditional perception, region exhibits better conductivity than other parts diode.
