Abstract
Possible applications of carbon nanotubes in nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMSs) based on rela-tive motion and interaction of nanotubes walls are considered for wide set of NEMS. This set includes nanomotors, nanoactuator, nanorelay, variable nanoresistor, gigahertz oscillator, nanothermometer and so on. The nanotube properties and theory for relative motion and interaction of nanotubes walls is de-scribed. The principal schemes, operation principles, and methods of actuation of the considered NEMS are considered. The development of nanotechnological techniques which are necessary for production of nanotube-baseb NEMS are discussed.
