	Carbon Nanotubes and Organic Semiconductors
	There is a great deal of interest in the chemical functionalization of carbon nanotubes for solvation, subsequent chemical reaction, and creation of device structures. Utilizing the atomic-scale imaging capability of scanning tunneling microscopy, this research investigates the chemical reactivity of nanotubes with fluorine and hydrogen. You will learn about the influence of these modifications on the nanotube electronic properties as well as cutting and separation and how chemically modified nanotubes have been exploited to perform controlled self-assembly on surfaces. The implications and potential of this research on future carbon nanotube device technology will be discussed.
