The thermal resistance of the contact between a metal and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and between CNT layers is estimated by the local heating of CNT arrays (films) of different thicknesses using a focused laser beam and measuring their local temperature via Raman spectroscopy. It is demonstrated that thermal contacts between nanotubes, and also between CNTs and an electrode, can be formed by means of laser annealing.
