Preparation and properties of carbon nanotubes

Yahachi Saito

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

Carbon nanotubes exhibit extraordinary mechanical and electronic properties. In this report, synthesis of carbon nanotubes (multiwalled and single-wall) by an electric arc discharge is first mentioned, and then their unique structures and properties are briefly reviewed. Field emission of electrons from nanotube tips, which are now attracting considerable attentions as a promising application of carbon nanotubes, is also demonstrated.
