Optical Properties of Carbon Nanotubes - Terminology

Terminology

This article uses the following abbreviations:

  • Carbon nanotube (CNT)
  • Single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT)
  • Multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT)

However, C is often omitted in scientific literature, so NT, SWNT and MWNT are more commonly used. Also, "wall" is often exchanged with "walled".
