| Review: |
This book describes experimental and theoretical studies of carbon nanotubes and introduces the reader to the physical concepts needed for investigating these and other one-dimensional systems. The introductory chapter is followed by chapters on the structure and symmetry of carbon nanotubes, electronic properties, optical properties, electronic transport, elastic properties, Raman scattering, and vibrational properties. A helpful summary is included at the end of each chapter. The book will be of interest to postgraduate students and others working in the field of carbon-nanotube research. |
