Nano Tubes and Nano Wires

A nanotube is nano meter-scale tube-like structures, which are also referred to as nanowires, in terms of feature ratio. Nano tubes can be single-walled or multi-walled. Nano wires are in 1D nanostructure which generally has diameters of the tens in order of nanometres. The length to diameter ratio can also be the maximum amount as 1000. Nanowires and nanotubes are at the forefront of materials science at the Nano scale. Carbon nanotubes are considered as prototype examples of nanowires and nanotubes. Both Nano-materials are important for practical applications, and provide a system that simple enough in order that detailed calculations of their properties are often administered, and predictions about their physical behaviour are often made. The occurrence and control of bizarre and unique properties of specific nanostructures are the drivers for the exploitation of Nano science in nanotechnology applications.
