Multishell conduction in multiwalled carbon nanotubes

View publication

Abstract

The full electronic complexity of multiwalled carbon nanotubes may be explored by sequentially removing individual carbon shells. This technique is employed to directly measure the number of shells contributing to conduction at room temperature, as well as the contribution of each shell to the overall conductance. By exploring the gate dependence of the conductance, the random alternation between semiconducting and metallic shells can also be observed.
