Carbon nanotubes

Use of carbon nanotubes in electronic circuitry requires that one knows the electrical properties of the nanotubes. Since mixtures of carbon nanotubes that have a range of diameters and properties are grown in all known production methods, it is necessary to separate out the nanotubes with the desired property from all other nanotubes. Ultimate control of these separation techniques will allow us to separate out nanotubes based on their chiral (n,m) numbers.
