  • Abstract
    After briefly reviewing previous results of conductance calculations for carbon nanotube wires, we present new results of ballistic transport by taking the non-crossing subbands into account. Specifically, we show that concepts in semiconductor physics such as Zener tunneling and Bragg reflection play an important role in determining the current versus applied voltage (I-V) characteristics of even metallic nanotubes.
