Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) exhibit excellent mechanical, electrical, and magnetic properties
as well as nanometer scale diameter and high aspect ratio, which make them an ideal …

Carbon is an element with extremely versatile bonding properties and theoretical
calculations have suggested the possible existence of several hundred structural allotropes …

This is an introductory textbook for graduate students and researchers from various fields of
science who wish to learn about carbon nanotubes. The field is still at an early stage, and …

Finite graphite systems having a zigzag edge exhibit a special edge state. The
corresponding energy bands are almost flat at the Fermi level and thereby give a sharp peak …

Fullerene single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs) were produced in yields of more than 70 percent
by condensation of a laser-vaporized carbon-nickel-cobalt mixture at 1200° C. X-ray …

抄録 We study the electronic states of graphite ribbons with edges of two typical shapes,
armchair and zigzag, by performing tight binding band calculations, and find that the …

Materials with nanoscopic dimensions not only have potential technological applications in
areas such as device technology and drug delivery but also are of fundamental interest in …

This book covers all the most important areas of nanotube research, as well as discussing
related structures such as carbon nanoparticles and'inorganic fullerenes'. Carbon …

Hybrid nanocomposites containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and ordered polyaniline
(PANI) have been prepared through an in situ polymerization reaction using a single-walled …

The curling of a graphitic sheet to form carbon nanotubes produces a class of materials that
seem to have extraordinary electrical and mechanical properties. In particular, the high …
