摘要：
We estimate the density of localized electronic states in a multiwalled carbon nanotube with defects within the framework of disordered systems in the light of free-electron theory. In this context, we start from previous results concerning electrical conductance which is quantized and fractional with respect to the values taken on by the corresponding quantum number.
