Carbon nanotubes and nanotube-based nano devices

Carbon nanotubes exhibit unusual electronic and mechanical properties which vary with subtle changes in microstructure, applied electromagnetic field and mechanical deformations, and introduction of topological defects. These novel properties offer unprecedent opportunities to study fundamental physics, fabricate advanced composition materials, and construct quantum devices at nanometer scales.
