Electrical transport through single-wall carbon nanotubes

We present a brief review of the phenomenal progress in electrical transpor t measurements in individual and ropes of single-wall carbon nanotubes in t he past few years. Nanotubes have been made into single-electron transistor s, field-effect transistors, and rectifying diodes. A number of interesting mesoscopic transport phenomena have been observed. More significantly. nan otubes exhibit strong electron-electron correlation effects, or so-called L uttinger liquid behavior, associated with their one-dimensional nature.
