Since the late 20th century, graphene—a one-atom-thick planar sheet of sp2-bonded carbon
atoms densely packed in a honeycomb crystal lattice—has garnered appreciable attention …

Field emission (FE) is based on the physical phenomenon of quantum tunneling, in which
electrons are injected from the surface of materials into vacuum under the influence of an …

Semiconductive carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have demonstrated great sensitivity toward
molecules such as NH3, NO, and NO2. Nevertheless, pristine CNTs cannot be used for …

The synthesis of the faceted single-crystalline h-AlN nanotubes with the length of a few
micrometers and diameters from 30 to 80 nm is first reported. This provides an ideal …

Unusual physical properties of single-wall carbon nanotubes have started a search for
similar tubular structures of other elements. In this paper, we present a theoretical analysis of …
