Individual metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes show unsual non-Ohmic transport behaviors at high bias fields. For low resistance contact samples, the differential conductance dI/dV increases with increasing bias, reaching a maximum at…

We have measured the electrical properties of individual bundles, or "ropes" of single-walled carbon nanotubes. Below ~10 K, the low bias conductance is suppressed for voltages below a few millivolts. In addition, dramatic peaks are…

The dynamical conductance of electrically contacted single-walled carbon nanotubes is measured from dc to 10 GHz as a function of source-drain voltage in both the low-field and high-field limits. The ac conductance of the nanotube itself is…

We calculate the current-voltage characteristic of a homogeneously strained metallic carbon nanotube adsorbed on a substrate. The strain generates a gap in the energy spectrum leading to a reduction of the current. In the elastic regime,…

We investigate the quantum transport through a single-wall carbon nanotube connected to leads in the presence of an external radiation field. We analyze the conductance spectrum as a function of the frequency and strength of the field. We…

We calculate the current-voltage characteristic of metallic nanotubes at high bias voltage showing that a bottleneck exists for short nanotubes in contrast to large ones. We attribute this to a redistribution of lower-lying acoustic phonons…

We computationally study the electrostatic potential profile and current carrying capacity of carbon nanotubes as a function of length and diameter. Our study is based on solving the non equilibrium Green's function and Poisson equations…

Single walled carbon nanotubes with Pd ohmic contacts and lengths ranging from several microns down to 10 nm are investigated by electron transport experiments and theory. The mean free path (mfp) for acoustic phonon scattering is estimated…

Charge transport in semiconducting single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) with Schottky-barrier contacts has been studied at high bias. We observe nearly symmetric ambipolar transport with electron and hole currents significantly exceeding 25…

It is shown that current saturation in semiconducting carbon nanotubes is indistinguishable from metallic nanotubes if the carrier density is above a critical value determined by the bandgap and the LO phonon energy. This feature stems from…

Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes are studied in the diffusive transport regime. The peak mobility is found to scale with the square of the nanotube diameter and inversely with temperature. The maximum conductance, corrected for…

High bias electrical transport characteristics of freely suspended metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are investigated at 250-400K in vacuum and various gases. Self-heating is exploited to examine the temperature dependence of…

We investigate experimentally the transport properties of single-walled carbon nanotube bundles as a function of temperature and applied current over broad intervals of these variables. The analysis is performed on arrays of nanotube…

Electron scattering rates in metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes are studied using an atomic force microscope as an electrical probe. From the scaling of the resistance of the same nanotube with length in the low and high bias regimes,…

We study theoretically the electronic structure, transport and optical properties for a zigzag single-wall carbon nanotube connected to two normal conductor leads under the irradiation of an external electromagnetic field at low…

Recent studies have shown the possibility of water transport across carbon nanotubes, even in the case of nanotubes with small diameter (0.822 nm). In this case, water shows subcontinuum transport following an ordered 1D structure…

Electronic transport properties of carbon nanotubes are studied theoretically in the presence of external electric field E(t) by using the Boltzmann's transport with constant relaxation time. An analytical expression for the current…

High frequency conductivity of hot electrons in an undoped single walled achiral carbon nanotubes (CNTs) under the influence of ac-dc driven fields is considered. We investigated semiclassically by solving the Boltzmann's transport equation…

We find that electrons in single-wall carbon nanotubes may propagate substantial distances (tens of nanometers) under the metal contacts. We perform four-probe transport measurements of the nanotube conductance and observe significant…

The electrical conductivity of metallic carbon nanotubes (CNTs) quickly saturates with respect to bias voltage due to scattering from a large population of optical phonons. Decay of these dominant scatterers in pristine CNTs is too slow to…
