Abstract: Low-temperature thermopower in disordered carbon nanotubes was calculated while taking into account multiple elastic electron scattering on impurities and shortrange structural inhomogeneities. A possible explanation is presented for the low-temperature behavior of thermopower which depends on defect structure, impurities and chirality.

Keywords: carbon nanotube, thermopower, structural disordered, low-temperature.
