Recent Progress on Research of Contact Resistance of Carbon Nanotubes

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper reviews the recent progress on the research of contact resistance of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), including the contact resistance between CNTs and electrodes/metals and that between CNTs. In particular, the current research advances in improving CNT contact resistance are presented. The challenges in improving CNT contact resistance are also addressed from a practical point of view. A thorough understanding of the electrical contact properties of CNTs helps to explore new methods to improve their contact resistance for full application of this unique group of materials.
