Gate electric field dependent TEP-modulation has been observed. The measured TEP of SWNTs is well correlated to the electrical conductance across the SWNT according to the Mott formula. At low temperatures, strong modulations of TEP were observed in the single electron conduction limit. In addition, semiconducting SWNTs exhibit large values of TEP due to the Schottky barriers at SWNT-metal junctions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-10-21T22:07:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "individual carbon nanotubes", "thermoelectric power", "gate electric field dependent tep-modulation", "single electron conduction limit", "individual single walled carbon nanotubes" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
