Abstract

We report the first transistor based on inorganic nanotubes exhibiting mobility values of up to 50 cm² V^-1 s^-1 for an individual WS₂ nanotube. The current-carrying capacity of these nanotubes was surprisingly high with respect to other low-dimensional materials, with current density at least 2.4 × 10⁸ A cm^-2. These results demonstrate that inorganic nanotubes are promising building blocks for high-performance electronic applications.
