Abstract

Dependence of electrical transport properties of mesoscale nanotube structures (such as CVD grown vertically aligned multiwalled nanotube films and long singlewalled carbon nanotube strands) on temperature has been investigated experimentally. The multiwalled carbon nanotube films were found to exhibit a rather non-metallic behavior, with the film resistance decreasing with increasing temperature. The long strands of ordered single wall carbon nanotubes on the other hand exhibited an increase in resistance with temperature. This study indicates that these novel mesoscale nanotube ensembles, show potential for use as lightweight minimally-intrusive thermal sensors.
