Carbon nanotubes are tiny hollow cylinders, made from a single graphene sheet, that possess many amazing properties. Another reason why nanotubes have generated intense research activities from scientists of various disciplines is that they represent a new class of materials for the study of one-dimensional physics. In this book we investigate the electrical transport of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes and their potential applications as biological sensors. In the first part of the book, electron-phonon scatterings are studied both experimentally and theoretically, clarifying...
