Abstract
This paper is a review of the theoretical and experimental studies devoted so far to the electronic structure of pure carbon nanotubes, including single-wall, multiwall, and ropes of single-wall nanotubes. A universal picture of the band structure of single-wall nanotubes is obtained by exploiting a particular helical symmetry. A brief description of the optical properties of the nanotubes is also presented. Potential applications of carbon nanotubes in nanoelectronics are described. To cite this article: Ph. Lambin, C. R. Physique 4 (2003). Cet article est une revue des acquis théoriques et expérimentaux sur la structure électronique des nanotubes de carbone, à la fois pour les tubes monofeuilles, multifeuillets et les faisceaux de nanotubes. Une vue unifiée de la structure de bandes électroniques des nanotubes monofeuillets est obtenue par application d'une symétrie hélicoı̈dale particulière. Une brêve description des propriétés optiques des nanotubes est aussi présentée. Les applications possibles des nanotubes de carbone en nanoélectronique sont décrites. Pour citer cet article : Ph.
