Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) can be described as a roll-up of graphene sheet into a hollow cylinder with diameters in a nanometer range and lengths varying from tens of nanometers to centimeters. Owing to its different roll-up chirality, the electronic property of SWNTs exhibits either met...
