Abstract
Transport properties under current stress are examined for a carbon nanofiber (CNF) on an insulating substrate between tungsten-deposited gold electrodes. The temperature dependence of CNF resistance is determined based on our previously reported heat transport model. The measured devices exhibit a thermal activation behavior, suggesting transport in a disordered medium. The extracted activation energies fall within the 22–35 meV range.
