The Physics of Fullerene-Based and Fullerene-Related Materials

Part of the book series: Physics and Chemistry of Materials with Low-Dimensional Structures ((PCMALS,volume 23))

Abstract

A broad review of the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes is presented. Particular emphasis is given to the singularities in the one-dimensional density of states predicted for single-wall nanotubes of small diameter. The evidence provided by scanning tunneling microscopy and resonant Raman scattering experiments in support of these singularities in the one-dimensional density of states is presented. The remarkable electronic and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes are also briefly reviewed and some potential applications for the nanotubes are suggested.
