摘要
Single-wail carbon nanotubes exhibit many properties analogous to quantum dots and wires at very low temperatures: Coulomb blockade and single-electron charging. These and other phenomena may be exploited in constructing active electronic devices of unprecedentedly small size. Bulk material may be chemically doped to yield mass-normalized electrical conductivity higher than that of copper.
