Carbon nanotubes

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are cylindrical structures of hexagonally bonded carbon atoms with diameters of a few nanometers. CNTs are generated with different structures characterized by their diameter and chirality (twist). Two types of semiconducting CNTs are zigzag (chirality &t…

Carbon nanotubes have unique electronic, mechanical, optical and thermal properties, which make them ideal candidates as building blocks in nano-electronic and electromechanical systems. However, their organization into well-defined geometries and arrays on surfaces remains a cr…
