Electrical Transport in Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Topics in Applied Physics ((TAP,volume 111))

Abstract

We review recent progress in the measurement and understanding of the electricalproperties of individual metal and semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes. Thefundamental scattering mechanisms governing the electrical transport in nanotubesare discussed, along with the properties of p–n and Schottky-barrier junctions insemiconductor tubes. The use of advanced nanotube devices for electronic,high-frequency, and electromechanical applications is discussed. We thenexamine quantum transport in carbon nanotubes, including the observation ofquantized conductance, proximity-induced supercurrents, and spin-dependentballistic transport. We move on to explore the properties of single and coupledcarbon-nanotube quantum dots. Spin and orbital (isospin) magnetic moments lead tofourfold shell structure and unusual Kondo phenomena. We conclude with adiscussion of unanswered questions and a look to future research directions.
