Abstract

This chapter focuses on two types of carbon nanotubes (CNTs): single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). CNTs are cylindrically-shaped carbon allotropes. They consist of a single layer of sp2-hybridized carbon atoms, giving it a hollow cylindrical shape. The majority of SWCNT samples have diameters on the order of ~1 nm and lengths on the order of microns to centimeters. MWCNTs are composed of concentric layers of SWCNTs nested inside one another, giving it a layered cylindrical shape. In the present chapter, we will provide a historical overview of CNTs and examine specifically their thermal properties as it relates to their applications to the semiconductor industry and nanoelectronics. The understanding of CNT chirality through the visualization of rolled-up graphene sheets will provide insight into the versatility and myriad thermo-mechanical and electrical properties of CNTs. We will focus on the use of Raman spectroscopy and Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations to characterize and investigate the thermal characteristics of SWCNTs.
