ELECTRON TRANSPORT IN ARRAYS OF ALIGNED MULTI-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES
Abstract
Electrical and magnetotransport in arrays of aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes are investigated. It is shown that for temperatures below 50 K the 2D weak localization model is the most reliable model for approximation of the experimental data. Electrical resistivity, (1.2–1.5) · 10–3 Ohm · cm, and the temperature dependence of the phase coherence length, Lth ≈ T-p / 2 with p = 0.78, are evaluated from the experimental data in the framework of the 2D weak localization model.
