title = "Electrical transport in small bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes: Intertube interaction and effects of tube deformation",
abstract = "We report a combined electronic transport and structural characterization study of small carbon nanotube bundles in field-effect transistors (FETs). The atomic structures of the bundles are determined by electron diffraction using an observation window built in the FET. The electrical transport of single-walled nanotube bundles depends on the structure of individual tubes, deformation due to intertube interaction, and the orientation with respect to the electric field. Ab initio simulations show that tube deformation in the bundle induces a band gap opening in a metallic tube. These results show the importance of intertube interaction in electrical transport of bundled carbon nanotubes.",
