For the second consecutive month, the Department of Materials Science has selected a paper authored by people from our lab as the research paper of the month.
This time, it was the paper titled "Electric Field-Modulated Non-Ohmic Behavior of Carbon Nanotube Fibers in Polar Liquids" authored by Jeronimo Terrones, James A Elliott, Juan J Vilatela*, and Alan H Windle.
The paper describes a novel electro-structural phenomenon in carbon nanotube fibres, in which the resistivity of the material is modulated by electric fields. This effect may find applications in future sensing and actuation technologies.
