碳纳米管与金属表面间的界面接触行为对碳基电子器件的性能研究具有重要意义. 本文利用分子动力学模拟方法研究了端部开口和闭口的多壁碳纳米管与金属表面间的界面接触构型和粘着强度. 模拟结果表明, 多壁碳纳米管在金属表面上的位置和形状变化是因为减少的范德瓦耳斯能转变成碳纳米管的内能; 多壁碳纳米管与金属表面的结合能为负值, 表明两者存在粘着作用; 多壁碳纳米管水平地接触金属表面时的粘着强度受初始间距、接触长度和金属种类影响, 即范德瓦耳斯能作用的初始间距阈值约为1 nm且最终平衡状态时的两者间距约为0.3 nm; 随着两者接触长度增加, 粘着强度增大, 铂与碳纳米管的粘着强度比钨和铝的大; 端部开口和闭口的碳纳米管与金属表面垂直接触时的粘着强度都比水平接触时的小, 两端开口的碳纳米管在金属表面上发生径向压缩变形, 最终形成带状结构; 而两端封闭的碳纳米管在金属表面上发生轴向压缩变形; 在碳纳米管场效应晶体管中, 两端开口的多壁碳纳米管与单壁碳纳米管一样变形成带状结构, 并且各个管壁之间以及最外层管壁与金属电极之间的间距相当, 该原子尺度的间距(约0.34 nm)保证电子从金属隧穿到最外层管壁, 并在内层管壁之间径向迁移.The interfacial contact configuration and contact intensity between carbon nanotube and metal surface play an important role in the electrical performance of carbon nanotube field effect transistors and nanoscale carbon nanotube robotic manipulation. In this paper, we investigate numerically the contact configuration and the contact intensity between multiwall carbon nanotube with open ends or capped ends and various metal surfaces in carbon nanotube field effect transistor assembly by the molecular dynamics simulation. The simulation results show that the change in the position and shape of multiwall carbon nanotube on the metal surface are mainly due to the decrease of van der Waals energy reduction: the decrement of van der Waals energy is converted into the internal energy and kinetic energy of carbon nanotubes. Moreover, the binding energy between multiwall carbon nanotube and metal surface is negative, which indicates that multiwall carbon nanotube adheres to the metal surface. In addition, the contact intensity of multiwall carbon nanotube in horizontally contacting metal surface is influenced by initial distance, contact length and metal materials. The final equilibrium distance is around ~0.3 nm when the initial distance is less than ~1 nm. And the contact intensity increases with the augment of contact length between carbon nanotube and metal. The contact intensity between platinum and carbon nanotube is larger than that between tungsten and aluminum, therefore, platinum-coated probe is generally utilized for picking carbon nanotube up. The contact intensity of the carbon nanotubes with the open ends and closed ends in the vertical contact with the metal surface are both lower than those in the horizontal contact. The interfacial contact configuration of carbon nanotube and metal materials mainly include the displacement and geometric deformation of carbon nanotube. The displacement and geometric deformation of multiwall carbon nanotube with open ends on the metal surface finally result in its radial nanoscale ribbon structure. But the closed-end three-wall carbon nanotube has the small axial geometric deformation through comparing the concentration profiles between the initial carbon nanotube and the collapsed carbon nanotube. In a carbon nanotube field effect transistor, the collapsed multiwall carbon nanotube forms the ribbon structure like a single wall carbon nanotube. And the distance between carbon nanotube walls and between the outermost carbon nanotube wall and the metal electrode are both about ~0.34 nm. The atomic scale spacing ensures that electrons tunnel from the metal to the outermost carbon nanotube wall and migrate radially between the inner carbon nanotube walls.
