Abstract

An analytical formulation to interpret the quantized electrical conductance in multiwalled carbon nanotubes with defects is presented. In this formulation, free-electron theory is utilized in order to calculate conductance which is found to be fractional according to an inverse proportionality law with respect to the number of layers involved in a given multiwalled tube. Our results agree well with experimental observations.
