Abstract

We have investigated a modification of electronic structures of a carbon nanotube by hydrogen functionalization. Carbon nanotubes were exposed to atomic hydrogen which was generated by a hot tungsten filament in the vacuum chamber. Current-voltage characteristics clearly showed a band gap widening after hydrogenation. This was explained by an enhancement of sp³ hybridization with hydrogen chemisorption on the tube wall. Our density functional calculations also predicted a strong chemisorption with pi electron modulation and the band gap widening upon hydrogenation.
