Abstract

The unconventional electronic properties of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNT) were discussed in the article. Consistent picture was obtained which indicated that electron-electron strong correlation is a major rhythm at low temperature. By examining the interplay of electron-electron interaction and electron-defects scattering, it was suggested that electron transport in MWNTs will be suppressed by the formation of a Coulomb blockade mechanism at low energies.
