Gate-Controlled Superconducting Proximity Effect in Carbon Nanotubes.
The superconducting proximity effect in single-walled carbon nanotubes connected to niobium electrodes was controlled with the use of nearby gates that tune the niobium-nanotube transparency. At 4.2 kelvin, when the transparency was tuned to be high, a dip in the low-bias differential resistance was observed, indicating a proximity effect mediated by Andreev reflection. When the transparency wa...
متن کاملTransport approach to the superconducting proximity effect in carbon nanotubes
A microscopic approach is developed to account for the magnitudes of the supercurrents observed experimentally in carbon nanotubes placed between superconducting contacts. We build up a model for the nanotube ropes encompassing the electron repulsion from the Coulomb interaction and the effective attraction given by phonon exchange. We show that the available experimental data are consistent wi...
متن کاملAnalysis of band-gap formation in squashed armchair carbon nanotubes
The electronic properties of deformed armchair carbon nanotubes are modeled using constraint free density functional tight binding molecular dynamics simulations. Independent from CNT diameter, deforming path can be divided into three regimes. In the first regime, the nanotube deforms with negligible force. In the second one, there is significantly more resistance to deforming with the force be...
متن کاملElectronic excitations of double-walled armchair carbon nanotubes
The low-frequency electronic excitations in double-walled armchair carbon nanotubes are studied within the random-phase approximation. The intertube atomic overlaps significantly affect the low-energy bands and thus enrich the low-frequency single-particle excitations and collective excitations. They induce more plasmon modes, reduce the plasmon strength, and change acoustic plasmons into optic...
متن کاملFundamental optical processes in armchair carbon nanotubes.
Single-wall carbon nanotubes provide ideal model one-dimensional (1-D) condensed matter systems in which to address fundamental questions in many-body physics, while, at the same time, they are leading candidates for building blocks in nanoscale optoelectronic circuits. Much attention has been recently paid to their optical properties, arising from 1-D excitons and phonons, which have been reve...
