Detailed calculations of $S^{g}$ are performed as a function of temperature, tube radius and position of the Fermi level. We derive a simple analytical expression for $S^{g}$ that can be utilized to determine the free carrier density in doped nanotubes. At low temperatures $S^{g}$ shows an activated behavior characteristic of the one-dimensional (1D) character of carriers. Screening effects are taken into account and it is found that they dramatically reduce the magnitude of $S^{g}$. Our results are compared with previous published experimental data in bulk p-doped SWCNT materials. Excellent agreement is obtained in the temperature range 10-200 K for a consistent set of parameters. This is a striking result in view of the complexity of these systems.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2010-06-12T16:33:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "72.20.Pa", "73.63.Fg", "63.20.kd", "63.22.Gh" ], "keywords": [ "extrinsic semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes", "experimental data", "phonon-drag thermopower", "doped semiconducting single-wall carbon", "comparison" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2010, "month": "Jun", "volume": 81, "number": 23, "pages": 235425 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010PhRvB..81w5425T" } } }
