Data for Encapsulated nanowires : boosting electronic transport in carbon nanotubes Andrij Vasylenko (4025291) Jamie Wynn (11251564) Paulo V. C. Medeiros (4025297) Andrew J. Morris (206326) Jeremy Sloan (1300266) David Quigley (1367631) Nanowires Carbon nanotubes Migrated from ePrints The electrical conductivity of metallic carbon nanotubes (CNTs) quickly saturates with respect to bias voltage due to scattering from a large population of optical phonons. The decay of these dominant scatterers in pristine CNTs is too slow to offset an increased generation rate at high voltage bias. We demonstrate from first principles that encapsulation of one-dimensional atomic chains within a single-walled CNT can enhance the decay of “hot” phonons by providing additional channels for thermalization. Pacification of the phonon population growth reduces the electrical resistivity of metallic CNTs by 51% for an example system with encapsulated beryllium.<br><br>Data underpinning figures in paper, plus README files 2017-10-30T00:00:00Z Dataset Dataset 10.82444/warw.33746611.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Data_for_Encapsulated_nanowires_boosting_electronic_transport_in_carbon_nanotubes/33746611 CC BY 4.0
