Giant magneto-conductance in twisted carbon nanotubes
Using the Landauer-Büttiker formalism, we calculate the effect of structural twist on electron transport in conducting carbon nanotubes. We demonstrate that even a localized region of twist scatters the propagating π electrons and induces the opening of a (pseudo-) gap near the Fermi level. The subsequent conductance reduction may be compensated by an applied axial magnetic field, leading to a ...
متن کاملDynamic conductance of carbon nanotubes
The dynamic conductance of carbon nanotubes was investigated using the nonequilibrium Green's function formalism within the context of a tight-binding model. Specifically, we have studied the ac response of tubes of different helicities, both with and without defects, and an electronic heterojunction. Because of the induced displacement currents, the dynamic conductance of the nanotubes differs...
متن کاملMagneto-optical spectroscopy of carbon nanotubes
We review our recent optical experiments on single-walled carbon nanotubes in high magnetic fields. The data revealed magnetic-field-induced optical anisotropy as well as broadening, splittings, and shifts of interband absorption and photoluminescence peaks. Quantitative comparison with theoretical predictions based on the Aharonov–Bohm effect is presented. r 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reser...
متن کاملAnomalous conductance quantization in carbon nanotubes.
Conductance measurements of carbon nanotubes containing gated local depletion regions exhibit plateaus as a function of gate voltage, spaced by approximately 1e(2)/h, the quantum of conductance for a single (nondegenerate) mode. Plateau structure is investigated as a function of bias voltage, temperature, and magnetic field. We speculate on the origin of this surprising quantization, which appe...
متن کاملConductance oscillations in squashed carbon nanotubes.
We report measurements on the radial electromechanical properties of single walled carbon nanotubes. By measuring the conductance of the nanotube, we show that a gap is opened while squashing the nanotubes and that during the deformation stages we observe at least two open-close cycles of the gap. We employ a novel experimental setup where an atomic force microscope tip is used both as an elect...
