✦ Synopsis

Atomic models of two single joints connecting (a) (9, 0) to (5, 5) and (b) (10, 0) to (6, 6) nanotubes have been constructed and relaxed on the computer using a molecular-mechanics model. Each connection is based on a pair of diametrically opposed pentagon and heptagon which bend the structure. The electronic properties of these metal-metal and semiconductor-metal junctions are explored within a tight-binding description of the 7r bands of the carbon sp 2 network.

The electronic properties of purified carbon nanotube (multicylinder structure with an outer diameter of z 20 nm and a length of z 10 pm) was first examined based on the electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. By the Raman scattering measurement, only one peak at 158 1 cm-1 similar to that of gr
