Öztürk, A. Zeng, P. Driessen, E.F.C. Klapwijk, T.M. Faculty Applied Sciences Department QN/Quantum Nanoscience Date 2012-06-01 Abstract Antenna-coupled suspended single carbon nanotubes exposed to 108?GHz microwave radiation are shown to be selectively heated with respect to their metal contacts. This leads to an increase in the conductance as well as to the development of a power-dependent DC voltage. The increased conductance stems from the temperature dependence of tunneling into a one-dimensional electron system. The DC voltage is interpreted as a thermovoltage, due to the increased temperature of the electron liquid compared to the equilibrium temperature in the leads.
