High field transport in carbon nanotube

Projected to be a material of scientific legend, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) exhibit a variety of intriguing electronic properties such as metallic and semiconducting behaviour due to the quantum confinement of electrons in the circumferential direction. The steady-state electronic transport properties...
