Carbon nanotubes are unique tubular structures of nanometer diameter and large
length/diameter ratio. The nanotubes may consist of one up to tens and hundreds of …

This article reviews the electronic and transport properties of carbon nanotubes. The focus is
mainly theoretical, but when appropriate the relation with experimental results is mentioned …

This book presents in a pedagogical yet complete way correlated systems in one dimension.
Recent progress in nanotechnology and material research have made one dimensional …

Carbon nanotubes are exceptionally interesting from a fundamental research point of view.
Many concepts of one-dimensional physics have been verified experimentally such as …

Electron transport in conductors is usually well described by Fermi-liquid theory, which
assumes that the energy states of the electrons near the Fermi level EF are not qualitatively …

The ultimate device miniaturization would be to use individual molecules as functional
devices. Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are promising candidates for achieving …

Using low-resistance electrical contacts, we have measured the intrinsic high-field transport
properties of metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes. Individual nanotubes appear to be able …

CEES DEKKER is a professor at the Delft Institute of Microelectronics and Submicron
Technology (DIMES) at Delft University of Technology in Delft, the Netherlands (dekker@ qt …

Single-crystal n-type and p-type silicon nanowires (SiNWs) have been prepared and
characterized by electrical transport measurements. Laser catalytic growth was used to …

Room-temperature single-electron transistors are realized within individual metallic single-
wall carbon nanotube molecules. The devices feature a short (down to∼ 20 nanometers) …
