The rates of electron scattering via phonons in the armchair single-wall
carbon nanotubes were calculated by using the improved scattering theory within
the tight-binding approximation. Therefore, the problem connected with the
discrepancy of the scattering rates calculated in the framework of the
classical scattering theory and ones predicted by experimental data was
clarified. Then these results were used for the solving of the kinetic
Boltzmann equation to describe electron transport properties of the nanotubes.
The equation was solved numerically by using both the finite difference
approach and the Monte Carlo simulation procedure.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in Physica E: Low-Dim.
