Carbon Nanotubes

Part of the book series: Topics in Applied Physics ((TAP,volume 80))

Abstract

Electron spectroscopies play an essential role in the experimental characterization of the electronic structure of solids. After a short description of the techniques used, the paper reviews some of the most important results obtained on purified single- and multi-wall carbon nanotubes, and intercalated nanotubes as well. An analysis of the occupied and unoccupied electron states, and the plasmon structure of the nanotubes is provided. How this information can be used to characterize the samples is discussed. Whenever possible, a comparison between nanotube data and those from graphite and C60 fullerene is made, as to draw a coherent picture in the light of recent theories on the electronic properties of these C-sp 2 materials.
