The past 3 decades of thorough scientific scrutiny of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) revealed
that, in spite of their remarkable properties, some technological applications are adversely …

Nanomaterials are a fundamental component of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The
small size of nanostructures constrains the applications of well-established testing and …

The current-carrying capacity and reliability studies of multiwalled carbon nanotubes under
high current densities (109 A/cm2) show that no observable failure in the nanotube structure …

Carbon nanotubes with their outstanding electrical and mechanical properties are
suggested as an interconnect material of the future. In this paper we will introduce …

The electrical conductivity of biomaterials on a molecular scale is of fundamental interest in
the life sciences. We perform first principles electronic structure calculations, which clearly …

The porosity of multi-walled carbon nanotube yarns can be varied over a wide range by
adjusting the yarn construction, resulting in a dramatic change in yarn electrical conductivity …

We report on the extensive characterization of carbon nanotube electron field emitters. We
studied the emission behavior of single-wall, closed and opened arc-discharge multi-wall …

The failure of individual multiwall carbon nanotubes during field emission and two-probe
characterization was studied in a scanning electron microscope on emitters grown by …

We report equilibrium electric resistance R and tunneling spectroscopy (dI/dV)
measurements obtained on single multi-wall nanotubes contacted by four metallic Au fingers …

ZnO nanorods were grown on SiO 2/Si substrates by a sol-gel method at low temperatures
of around T= 95° C. The diameters and the lengths of ZnO nanorods increased at high …
