Carbon nanotubes are graphene sheets rolled-up into cylinders with diameters as small as
one nanometer. Extensive work carried out worldwide in recent years has revealed the …

Recent progress in chemical vapour deposition and aerosol synthesis of single-walled
carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is reviewed with an emphasis on the role of metal …

Chemical sensors based on individual single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are
demonstrated. Upon exposure to gaseous molecules such as NO2 or NH3, the electrical …

A common feature of the single-walled carbon-nanotube field-effect transistors fabricated to
date has been the presence of a Schottky barrier at the nanotube–metal junctions,,. These …

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 …

The effects of mechanical deformation on the electrical properties of carbonnanotubes are of
interest given the practical potential of nanotubes in electromechanicaldevices, and they …

Carbon nanotubes, with their extraordinary mechanical and unique electronic properties,
have garnered much attention in the past five years. With a broad range of potential …

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 …

Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors commonly comprise nanotubes lying on SiO2
surfaces exposed to the ambient environment. It is shown here that the transistors exhibit …

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 …
