We report on the fabrication and characterization of field-effect transistor based on an individual multiwalled nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube (Fig. 1). Our measurements show that the N-doped carbon nanotubes have n-type properties. The contact properties of the tube and Pt electrodes are also studied in detail. Temperature dependence of two-terminal transport experiments suggests that transport is dominated by thermionic emission and tunneling through a 0.2 eV Schottky contact barrier.
