Abstract: The advances of research on the electromagnetic characteristics for carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were reviewed systematically. In combination with our latest achievements from studying of transport properties, intrinsic resistance and magnetoresistance of CNTs, the research methods, involving theories, essential findings and their implications of the uniquely electromagnetic quantum properties for CNTs were discoursed concisely.

Key words: quantum dot, Coulomb blockade and electron tunneling, odd-even property and Kondo effect, Luttinger liquid, intrinsic resistance, magnetoresistance
