The thermal conductivity and thermoelectric power of a single carbon nanotube were measured using a microfabricated suspended device. The observed thermal conductivity is more than 3000 W/K m at room temperature, which is two orders of…
Bulk samples of carbon multilayer nanotubes with the structure of nested cones (fishbone structure) suitable for transport measurements, were prepared by compressing under high pressure (~25 kbar) a nanotube precursor synthesized through…
We investigate quantum transport in aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers fabricated via solution spinning, focusing on the roles of structural dimensionality and quantum interference effects. The fibers exhibit metallic behavior at high…
In this dissertation, thermal and electrical properties of aligned multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) prepared by thermal decomposition of hydrocarbons have been experimentally studied. The thesis consists of six chapters. Ch1 is an…
The conduction of a single-wall carbon nanotube depends on the pitch. If there are an integral number of carbon hexagons per pitch, then the system is periodic along the tube axis and allows "holes" (, and not "electrons",) to move inside…
The electronic and transport properties of (10, 0) single-walled carbon nanotube are studied by performing the first-principles calculations and semi-classical Boltzmann theory. It is found that the (10, 0) tube exhibits considerably large…
Combining equilibrium and non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations with accurate carbon potentials, we determine the thermal conductivity $\lambda$ of carbon nanotubes and its dependence on temperature. Our results suggest an…
Through magnetic linear dichroism spectroscopy, the magnetic susceptibility anisotropy of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes has been extracted and found to be 2-4 times greater than values for semiconducting single-walled carbon…
Quantum transport properties of intermolecular nanotube contacts are investigated. We find that atomic structure in the contact region plays important roles and resistance of contacts varies strongly with geometry and nanotube chirality.…
We study the electrical transport properties of well-contacted ballistic single-walled carbon nanotubes in a three-terminal configuration at low temperatures. We observe signatures of strong electron-electron interactions: the conductance…
The magnetoconductance of p-n junctions formed in clean single wall carbon nanotubes is studied in the noninteracting electron approximation and perturbatively in electron-electron interaction, in the geometry where a magnetic field is…
We report electrical transport experiments using the phenomenon of electrical breakdown to perform thermometry that probe the thermal properties of individual multi-walled nanotubes. Our results show that nanotubes can readily conduct heat…
We measure the conductance of carbon nanotube peapods from room temperature down to 250mK. Our devices show both metallic and semiconducting behavior at room temperature. At the lowest temperatures, we observe single electron effects. Our…
Low-temperature thermal conductivity and thermopower of multiwalled carbon nanotubes considered within a bundle of nanotubes are calculated taking into account multiple scattering of electrons on the atoms of impurities (like single carbon…
We theoretically study the magnetoresistance of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in the ballistic transport regime, using a standard tight-binding approach. The main attention is directed to spin-polarized electrical transport in the…
Recent experimental and theoretical results on intrinsic superconductivity in ropes of single-wall carbon nanotubes are reviewed and compared. We find strong experimental evidence for superconductivity when the distance between the normal…
The magnetotransport properties were studied in hundreds of micrometer length double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWCNT) bundles. Above 15 K the resistance shows an ohmic behavior and its temperature dependence is well described using the…
We present a theoretical study of the role of the local environment in the electronic properties of carbon nanotubes: isolated single- and multi-wall nanotubes, nanotube-ropes, tubes supported on gold and cutted to finite length.…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are quasi-1D nanostructures that display both high thermal conductivity and intriguing low-dimensional phonon transport phenomena. In comparison to the advances made in the theoretical calculation of the lattice…
Using the real-time diagrammatic technique and taking into account both the sequential and cotunneling processes, we analyze the transport properties of single-wall metallic carbon nanotubes coupled to nonmagnetic and ferromagnetic leads in…
