Abstract

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) belong to the family of synthetic carbon allotropes and are characterized by a network of sp2 hybridized carbon atoms. The one dimensional (1D) carbon nanotubes can thus be queued between their zero dimensional relatives fullerenes and the two dimensional (2D) relative graphene. The structure of nanotubes has first been described as helical microtubules of graphitic carbon in 1991 by Iijima who generated the novel material by an arc discharge evaporation process originally designed for the production of fullerenes. Since then, extensive research has shed light into the structure and properties of this highly remarkable carbon allotrope.
