This project reviews synthesis, properties and technological applications of carbon nanotubes. The different synthesis methods of carbon nanotubes are illustrated briefly. The energy dependence of density of states was used to determine the optical properties of CNT. Finally, brief description of optical and electronic properties was presented. Using MATLAB Code the theoretical simulation of electronic band structure as a function of wave vector, the band gap as a function of tube diameter and the density of state as a function of energy band are generated.
