| Abstract | We find strong evidence for a metal-insulator sMI d transition in macroscopic single wall carbon nanotube sSWNTd conductors. This is revealed by systematic measurements of resistivity and transverse magnetoresistance sMRd in the ranges 1.9–300 K and 0–9 Tesla, as a function of p-type redox doping. Strongly H2SO4-doped samples exhibit small negative MR, and the resistivity is low and only weakly temperaturedependent. Stepwise dedoping by annealing in vacuum induces a MI transition. Critical behavior is observed near the transition, withrsTd obeying a power-law temperature dependence, rsTd~T−b. In the insulating regime shigh annealing temperatures d, the rsTd behavior ranges from Mott-like three-dimensional s3Dd variable-range hoppingsVRHd, rsTd~expfsT0/Tdg, to Coulomb-gap sCGVRHd behavior, rsTd ~expfs−T0/Tdg. Concurrently, MRsBd becomes positive for large B, exhibiting a minimum at magnetic field Bmin. The temperature dependence of Bmin can be characterized by BminsTd=Bcs1−T/Tcd for a large number of samples prepared by different methods. Below a sample-dependent crossover temperature Tc, MRsBd is positive for allB. The observed changes in transport properties are explained by the effect of doping on semiconducting SWNTs and tube-tube coupling. |
