β¦ Synopsis
Transport measurements on a bundle of single-walled carbon nanotubes have been made below 4.2 K as a function of side gate and source-drain bias voltage. The transport of an individual nanotube is described by the Coulomb blockade effect. The zero-dimensional quantum states of the nanotube become clear for measurements of large bias voltage. In addition, we present preliminary results of microwave application to the SWNT dot, and the results can be qualitatively explained by classical coupling to the dot.

We have fabricated single and coupled quantum dots in single-wall carbon nanotubes, and measured their electrical transport at low temperatures. The charging energy for single quantum dots seemed to depend on the gap between metallic contacts, and could be larger than room temperature for the smalle
## Abstract A specially designed carbon nanotube (CNT) is developed for use in the early detection and treatment of cancer. The key functionalities for biomedical diagnosis and drug delivery are incorporated into the CNTs. In vivo imaging of live mice is achieved by intravenously injecting quantum
