TI  - Superconductivity in entirely end-bonded multiwalled carbon nanotubes.
PG  - 057001
AB  - We report that entirely end-bonded multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) can 
      exhibit superconductivity with a transition temperature (T(c)) as high as 12 K, 
      which is approximately 30 times greater than T(c) reported for ropes of 
      single-walled nanotubes. 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.
