AbstractResults of the temperature dependence of the thermoelectric power and fourprobe resistance of single wall carbon nanotube mats are presented. The data are interpreted in terms of the response of a percolating network of metallic nanotube bundles. To the best of our knowledge, the work represents the first systematic study of the transport properties of a series of samples prepared using different transition metal-Y growth catalysts. Although x-ray diffraction and Raman scattering data indicate these samples are nominally the same, we find that the identity of the catalyst has a pronounced effect on the electrical transport properties. The data are interpreted qualitatively in terms of a dilute Kondo system involving the coupling of the the localized magnetic moments of impurity atoms (derived from the catalyst), and the conduction electron spins in the nanotube walls.
