The atomic structure, electronic and optoelectronic properties of nanosized films of carbon nanotubes with seamless cross-shaped X- junctions are studied. It is established that the topology of the arrangement of non-hexagonal elements in the contact region of nanotubes determines the energy stability of the atomic structure. It is revealed that the pore size of the film determines the type of conductivity. At the smallest pore sizes, the film is characterized by a metallic type of conductivity; with an increase in pore size, the gap in the band structure also increases and the film becomes semiconductor. Films with a minimum gap size exhibit good photovoltaic properties. The photocurrent for the considered film models can reach 2.4 mA•cm-2 in the atmosphere and 3.25 mA•cm-2 outside the atmosphere. The presence of a gap in the band structure makes nanosized films promising for nanoelectronics and optoelectronics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
