    The document discusses using carbon nanotubes for microwave and high-frequency devices. It describes how carbon nanotubes can act as channels in transistors and diodes and how their electronic properties can be controlled through chemical doping or external electric fields similar to bulk semiconductors. The document also explains how determining the conductivity type of a carbon nanotube field-effect transistor depends on how the conductance changes with an applied gate voltage and how both metallic and semiconducting carbon nanotubes could be used in such devices.

    photocathode for microwave devices New microwave concept based on CNT

    CNT acts as a channel in electronic devices such as diodes and transistors. The electronic properties of semiconducting CNTs are controlled by chemical doping as in bulk semiconductor. At ambient condition CNT is not intrinsic (n=p), it is p-type due to inherent curvature of CNT.

    N-type doping of semiconducting CNTs is important at nanoscale. Type of doping is determined by the conductance of CNT. In case of CNTFET as gate voltage increases if conductance decreases it is p-type and if increases it is n-type.

    Both metallic and semiconducting CNTs can be used in CNTFET as channel. In case of semiconducting , band gap narrows due to the transverse electric field.

    Metallic CNT is not sensitive to applied field but it experience reversible metallic semiconducting transition beyond a certain field threshold. This metal-semiconductor transition of the CNT is useful to design microwave switch, nanoscale analog-digital converter etc.
