High-field electrical transport in single-wall carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: The intrinsic high-field transport properties of metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes are measured using low-resistance electrical contacts and it is shown that the current-voltage characteristics can be explained by considering optical or zone-boundary phonon emission as the dominant scattering mechanism at high field.
