This book gives a comprehensive review of the present status of research in this fast moving field by researchers actively contributing to the advances. After a short introduction and a brief review of the relation between carbon nanotubes, graphite and other forms of carbon, the synthesis techniques and growth mechanisms for carbon nanotubes are described. This is followed by reviews of structural characterization of nanotubes and of doping. Further contributions cover a wide spectrum of theoretical and experimental work and also the rapidly developing practical applications of carbon nanotubes. Also available online in LINK. Access to the Table of Contents and the Abstracts is free for all (http://link.springer.de/series/tap/).FROM THE REVIEWS: FULLERENES, NANOTUBES, AND CARBON NANOSTRUCTURES "This volume gives a comprehensive, and at the same time representative, survey of the present status of research in this fast-moving field...The volume certainly represents an excellent contribution to carbon-based materials science."
