Abstract:
The three-terminal electrical transport through single-walled carbon nanotube bundles with low resistive
metal contacts is investigated at room temperature. After correcting for the lead resistance, two-probe resistances
close to the value expected for a metallic single-walled carbon nanotube are found. Analysis of the
experimental data in the frame of the Landauer-Bu?ttiker formalism reveals the phase- and momentumrandomizing
effect of the third electrode, which is at floating potential, on the quasiballistic transport. Within
this model, the phase-coherence length of the charge carriers is estimated to be '300 nm at room temperature.
