Carbon Nanotubes Synthesis, Structure, Properties, and Applications - Dresselhaus, Mildred S. 1930-2017 (Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2001)
This book gives a comprehensive review of the present status of research in this fast moving field by researchers actively contributing to the advances. After a short introduction and a brief review of the relation between carbon nanotubes, graphite and other forms of carbon, the synthesis techniques and growth mechanisms for carbon nanotubes are described. This is followed by reviews on nanotube electronic structure, electrical, optical, and mechanical properties, nanotube imaging and spectroscopy, and nanotube applications
