摘要
Electrical contacts to carbon nanotubes typically exhibit high resistance, posing a serious obstacle to their application in electronic devices. One important factor may be their unique electronic structure, which gives weak electronic coupling at the Fermi surface. This suggests some possible ways to reduce contact resistance.
