• mechanical properties [1][2][3] as well as thermal and electrical conductivity [4][5], enabling ballistic charge carrier transport up to the microscale at room temperature [6][7]. The emergence of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) using SWCNTs as the device channel provides a possible

• large shift of the threshold voltage in carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs). SWNTs possess several properties that make them attractive candidates for gas sensors. They have all their atoms on the surface, endowing them with the highest specific surface area possible together with graphene
