We find that the emergence of this superconductivity is highly sensitive to the junction structures of the Au electrode/MWNTs. This reveals that only MWNTs with optimal numbers of electrically activated shells, which are realized by end bonding, can allow superconductivity due to intershell effects.}, pages = {057001--057001}, title = {Superconductivity in Entirely End-Bonded Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes}, volume = {96}, year = {2006} }
