Abstract

Single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) possess multiple analytically useful properties, intrinsic and extrinsic, as well as some that are of potential value. This chapter focuses on the magnetotransport properties of SWCNT coated 0.11mm diameter quartz silica fibers. The fibers were prepared by functionalizing the silica surface with a hydrocarbon layer. SWCNTS (oxidized or un-oxidized) were adsorbed onto the functionalized surface and the entire unit was annealed. Resistance and magnetoresistance in the 1.8-250 K and 1.8 - 8 K ranges, respectively, were examined and modeled to show the existence of two charge transport mechanisms, variable range hopping (VRH) and fluctuation induced tunneling.
