It is predicted theoretically and understood experimentally that carbon nanotubes (CNTs)
possess excellent physical and chemical properties and have wide-range potential …

Nanometer scale structures represent an intellectually challenging and rapidly expanding
area of research that crosses the borders between many areas of the physical sciences and …

The Young's modulus, strength, and toughness of nanostructures are important to proposed
applications ranging from nanocomposites to probe microscopy, yet there is little direct …

This important book focuses on the synthesis and fabrication of nanostructures and
nanomaterials, but also includes properties and applications of nanostructures and …

A method combining laser ablation cluster formation and vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth
was developed for the synthesis of semiconductor nanowires. In this process, laser ablation …

Dimensionality plays a critical role in determining the properties of materials due to, for
example, the different ways that electrons interact in three-dimensional, twodimensional …

We fabricated field-effect transistors based on individual single-and multi-wall carbon
nanotubes and analyzed their performance. Transport through the nanotubes is dominated …

Direct laser vaporization of transition-metal/graphite composite rods produced single-walled
carbon nanotubes (SWT) in the condensing vapor in a heated flow tube. A much higher yield …

SINCE the invention of the scanning tunnelling microscope1, the value of establishing a
physical connection between the macroscopic world and individual nanometre-scale objects …

Large-scale synthesis of aligned carbon nanotubes was achieved by using a method based
