Abstract
The phonon-mediated resistivity is calculated for metallic carbon nanotubes based on a continuum model for electrons and phonons. In armchair nanotubes, only twisting modes contribute to the resistivity, while both stretching and breathing modes are important in zigzag nanotubes. The resistivity shows chirality dependence at low temperatures where breathing modes are not populated but becomes independent of the chirality at high temperatures.Keywords
