-電子可於圓形3D空間內運行
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

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
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

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)1/2aC-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

 = 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

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.

Contribution to total conductance from individual layers
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

Removal of carbon layer

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.
