Phaedon Avouris, an IBM fellow and manager of the Nanometer Scale Science and Technology program at IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center, is in the vanguard of experimental and theoretical research into the electrical properties and transport mechanisms of carbon nanotubes and other nanostructures. A comprehensive model of nanotube behavior used by Avouris and colleagues at IBM might serve as a blueprint for the design and fabrication of carbon-nanotube-based electronic devices and circuits. Avouris talked to EE Times' R. Colin Johnson about the surprising operating regions available to designers of carbon nanotube transistors for specific applications.
