Effect of Source, Surfactant, and Deposition Process on Electronic Properties of Nanotube Arrays

The electronic properties of arrays of carbon nanotubes from several different sources differing in the manufacturing process used with a variety of average properties such as length, diameter, and chirality are studied. We used several common surfactants to disperse each of these nanotubes and then...
