Abstract
The rates of electron scattering via phonons in the armchair single-wall carbon nanotubes were calculated by using the improved scattering theory within the tight-binding approximation. Therefore, the problem connected with the discrepancy of the scattering rates calculated in the framework of the classical scattering theory and ones predicted by experimental data was clarified. Then these results were used for the solving of the kinetic Boltzmann equation to describe electron transport properties of the nanotubes. The equation was solved numerically by using both the finite difference approach and the Monte Carlo simulation procedure.
