Pressure dependent conduction of individual multi-walled carbon nanotubes: the effect of mechanical distortions

Abstract

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) show an oscillation in electrical resistance (from I–V measurements) during mechanical distortion in which peak separation is inversely correlated with the diameter of the MWCNTs.
