The trapped electrons and holes caused a partial collapse of the nanotube and its helical twisting. The topography changes can be explained by the reverse piezoelectric effect, the theory of which was proposed for chiral nanostructures. Work-function modifications were observed, which were dependent on the polarity of the injected carriers.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-01-10T09:18:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "single mos2 nanotube", "work function", "charge injection", "morphology", "modulations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
