Abstract

This chapter presents the unique atomic structure and properties of carbon nanotube (CNT). The electronic band structure of carbon nanotube along with their small size and low dimension are responsible for their unique electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties. This chapter summarizes the electronic band structure of one-dimensional CNTs, various transport properties, and their real-world applications. Additionally, a brief about the production and purification of CNTs is also presented in this chapter.
