The transport properties of field-effect transistors based on C-60 fullerene peapods have been investigated and our findings indicate that the transport characteristics of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are highly sensitive to the encapsulated fullerenes due to the charge-transfer effect. Under light illumination, the photoinduced electron transfer characteristics are found in C-60 peapods, which is different from those observed for empty SWNTs. The response characteristic of peapod devices to light is reflected in a shift of threshold voltage toward negative values, indicating an electron-doping process. After removing light the photoresponse is fully recoverable, indicating complete restoration of transferred electrons. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
