This measurement method is not limited by the metal conductor contact resistances or impedance mismatch commonly encountered in the measurement of single nanotubes. The measurement of carbon nanotubes yielded conductivities of approximately 0.08 × 107 S/m. Copyright © 2007 James Baker-Jarvis et al.

INTRODUCTION important. The theoretical model of the electrical conductiv- ¨ ity of nanotubes is usually based on the work of Luttinger The objective of this study is to develop an accurate method [5]. Over the years, the conductivity of carbon na
