Abstract

AbstractThe electrophysical and noise characteristics of arrays of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) functionalized in various ways were studied. It is demonstrated that the as-prepared and annealed MWCNT arrays have semiconductor-type resistivities and temperature dependences of resistivity, while the arrays of annealed MWCNTs functionalized with acids have metallic properties. Low-frequency 1/ f noise in the 0.2‒20 kHz range was observed for all MWCNT arrays. Simple thermal annealing raised the noise level severalfold and annealing with acid treatment resulted in noise reduction and a change in the index of power in its current dependence. The normal amplitude distribution of noise spikes transformed to a lognormal one as the density of as-prepared MWCNT arrays increased. The duration distribution of these spikes became narrower at higher densities.
