electrical properties of carbon nanotubes, emphasizing the theoretical aspects. Nanotubes …

The article reviews the interaction between crystalline metals and carbon nanotubes in
nanocomposite systems. Starting with an introduction to the chemical interaction between …

A high-quality junction between graphene and metallic contacts is crucial in the creation of
high-performance graphene transistors. In an ideal metal–graphene junction, the contact …

A brief review is given of electronic and transport properties of carbon nanotubes obtained
mainly in ak· p scheme. The topics include a giant Aharonov–Bohm effect on the band gap …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are amongst the most explored one-dimensional nanostructures
and have attracted tremendous interest from fundamental science and technological …

We report a bottom-up approach to integrate multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) into
multilevel interconnects in silicon integrated-circuit manufacturing. MWNTs are grown …

Strength and ductility are often a paradox in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced Cu matrix
composite, as well as strength and electrical conductivity. Interface and characteristics of …

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes are shown to be ballistic conductors at room temperature,
with mean free paths of the order of tens of microns. The measurements are performed both …

The tight-binding (TB) approach to the modelling of electrical conduction in small structures
is introduced. Different equivalent forms of the TB expression for the electrical current in a …

We report on the interfacial structure, the current− voltage (I− V) characteristics, and contact
resistance of metal electrode− carbon nanotube contacts for five metals, Ti, Pd, Pt, Cu, and …
