電阻小 -電子雲重疊, 造成電子可於電子雲中自由穿梭, 形成導電路徑 電阻大 如果重疊區域少, 電子需藉由hopping(或是tunneling)方能穿梭
骨架 + 電子雲 (形成3D view) 六連環俯視圖 側視圖 z 電子可視為電子波, 故具備向量性質 而空間中向量可分成三個分量, x, y, z x y 也就是說電子可延三個方向前進
由於波函數(wave function)沿z軸方向只延伸約1Å距離, 故電子波向量 沿z軸方向受限制. 但沿x, y軸方向不受限制 z x 1Å y

CB joins with VB at k-points CB k-point EF VB Above means that if any sub-bands cross at k-points would be metallic nature otherwise tube is a semiconducting property.
One atom one energy level (sub-band) with unpaired electron anti-bonding Two atoms two energy levels with one bonding and one anti-bonding bonding Three atoms three energy levels with one bonding, one anti-bonding and one unpaired electron Each sub-band has own velocity and wave vector If any of these vectors cross at k-points or intercept EF the nanotube would be a metallic nature.

where a1 and a2 are unit vectors, and n and m are integers. A nanotube constructed in this way is called an (n,m) nanotube Chiral vector = Ch = na1 + ma2
d = (3)1/2aC-C(m2 +mn +n2)1/2/) Where aC-C = 1.42 Å: the nearest neighbor carbon-carbon distance = tan-1[(3)1/2n/(2m+n)] Example: for zigzag tube when = 0 with (n,0) = (9,0), d= 7.05 Å for armchair tube, (n,n) = (5,5), d= 6.83 Å

為何文獻總是說碳管之電性取決於管徑(tube diameter)與螺旋性 (chirality) 波向量隨直徑變化而位移
Determination by tube Chirality = 15 = 25 波向量隨管之螺旋性而變化
文獻說不論直徑為何只要nanotubes是armchair edge 均是metallic nature (no band gap) 因為波向量永遠 座落於k-points上 且此六邊形對稱不 隨管直徑而變化
文獻說zigzag nanotube有三分之一會是metallic tube,三分之二是semiconductor

多層碳管之導電路徑為那一層---每層均可導電, 但一般是最外層, 因為只有最外層與金屬電極接觸 (注意: 電子不可能跳躍層與層之 間距離而由內層跳至外層 Innermost layer 電極 Outermost layer e- e- e-
前述碳管電性取決於直徑與螺旋性, 因此多壁碳管有可能 是每層電性不同. Removal of carbon layers by Electrical breakdown S M Science,292, 706, 2001

Carbon nanotubes can carry electrical current up to 109 A/cm2 So how to remove carbon layers in a vacuum via electrical breakdown? Current induced defect formation Self-heating Removal of carbon layer on the order of ms Defect extension
Summaries 1. Alternative electronic property of MWNTs, M-S-M-S 2. Removal of each layer reduces current of 19 A. 3. A MWNT conducts electrical current only at outer-layer where they contact with electrodes. Nevertheless, when MWNTs are modulated at higher bias voltage the inner-layers also contribute to nanotube conductance via inter-layer barriers (thermally activated conduction). 4. Inner layers only contribute limitedly to nanotube conductance, because they have to overcome interlayer barriers of 0.34 nm spacing.
