Abstract
The contributed volume of fourteen chapters is opened by a remark from one of the editors K. Fukui (1918-1998). The Nobel laureate of 1981 calls nanotubes and fullerenes 'splendid gift' and points out that such developments of mesoscopic scale suggest the possibility to realize the 'Schrodinger-cat states'. The following three chapters treat various essential aspects of carbon nanotubes. M. Yumura deals with synthesis and purification of nanotubes. Their electron diffraction and microscopy is described by S. Amelinckx e t al. The third chapter in this block, written by T. Hanada e t al., discusses electron energy loss spectroscopy as a tool for nanotube structural studies. The group of the next five chapters is devoted to more specific aspects of nanotube structure and behavior. Electronic structure of single-walled nanotubes is analyzed in a theoretical chapter by K. Tanaka e t al. The following chapter from R. Saito et al. deals with phonon structure and Raman effect of single-walled nanotubes. Contribution from H. Ajiki and T. Ando describes behavior of single-walled nanotubes in magnetic fields. M.
