38.1  INTRODUCTION

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted the most attention due to their extraordinary electrical, mechanical, and optical properties [1, 2 and 3]. In addition to the efforts of developing new electronic devices, direct bandgap one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures are playing an important role because of the desire to ...
