Electrical and electromagnetic properties of isolated carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotube-based composites

Isolated carbon nanotubes (CNTs), CNT films and CNT-polymer nanocomposites are a new generation of materials with outstanding mechanical, thermal, electrical and electromagnetic properties. The main objective of this article is to provide a comprehensive review on the investigations performed in the field of characterizing electrical and electromagnetic properties of isolated CNTs and CNT-reinf...

Multiwalled carbon nanotube films as temperature nano-sensors

Most of the basic research on the electrical behavior of CNTs has been carried out on individual or bundle nanotubes. More recently random or oriented CNT networks (CNTN) are emerging as new material for electronic application. We present the fabrication of thick and dense CNTNs, in the form of freestanding films, and the study of their electric resistance as a function of the temperature, from...

Phonon populations and electrical power dissipation in carbon nanotube transistors.

Carbon nanotubes and graphene are candidate materials for nanoscale electronic devices. Both materials show weak acoustic phonon scattering and long mean free paths for low-energy charge carriers. However, high-energy carriers couple strongly to optical phonons, which leads to current saturation and the generation of hot phonons. A non-equilibrium phonon distribution has been invoked to explain...
