This is an introductory textbook for graduate students and researchers from various fields of science who wish to learn about carbon nanotubes. The field is still at an early stage, and progress continues at a rapid rate. This book focuses on the basic principles behind the physical properties and gives the background necessary to understand the recent developments. Some useful computational source codes which generate coordinates for carbon nanotubes are also included in the appendix.

 
Contents:
  • Carbon Materials
  • Tight Binding Calculation of Molecules and Solids
  • Structure of a Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube
  • Electronic Structure of Single-Wall Nanotubes
  • Synthesis of Carbon Nanotubes
  • Landau Energy Bands of Carbon Nanotubes
  • Connecting Carbon Nanotubes
  • Transport Properties of Carbon Nanotubes
  • Phonon Modes of Carbon Nanotubes
  • Raman Spectra of Carbon Nanotubes
  • Elastic Properties of Carbon Nanotubes
 
Readership: Researchers and graduate students in condensed matter and solid state physics.
 
“The book is a well organized systematic treatise that should be enjoyed by any researcher in the field as well as by graduate students. Theories and experiments are truly organically linked in the text and this is its unique feature.”
Fullerene Science & Technology
 
“Those involved in the research of carbon nanotubes will find this book useful for understanding the basic properties of carbon tube materials.”
