We use an in situ Al decoration technique to control the transport characteristics of single-walled carbon nanotube field effect transistors (SWNT-FETs). Al nanoparticle decoration in a high vacuum caused the devices to change from p -type to n -type FETs, and subsequent exposure to the ambient atmosphere induced a gradual recovery of p -type character. In comparison with the bare SWNT-FETs under high vacuum, the channel-open devices with decorated Al particles exhibited reduced current under ambient conditions. However, selective Al decoration only at the contact resulted in an improved p -type current in ambient air.open182
