• , suggesting a high desorption barrier for the tube–NO2 interaction. The effect of adsorption on the nanotube on the transistor characteristics can also depend on the device architecture and contact type. Bradley et al. [10] discuss a similar response in contact-passivated CNFETs for NH3 sensors, but indicate
