| Carbon nanotubes are considered to have some exceptional characteristics. They are chemically very stable, mechanically very strong and conduct electricity. For this reason, they open up new perspectives for various applications, such as nano-transistors in circuits, for hydrogen storage in fuel cells, as artificial muscles, or as an added reinforcement in alloys. Above all, in the field of electronics these macromolecules will one day replace silicon. This text is an introduction to the concepts for handling and investigating carbon nanotubes. Written for a wide scientific readership, each chapter consists of an instructive approach to the problem and sustainable ideas for solutions. The former are generally comprehensible for physicists and chemists, while the latter lead readers to the current state of knowledge as of the beginning of 2002. The book includes for the first time ab initio theories on the physical description of CNTs as well as the results from such new experimental methods of investigation as STM and Raman scattering.
