Chiral effects in normal and superconducting carbon nanotube-based nanostructures

The novel phenomenon of chiral tunneling in metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes is considered. It is induced by the interplay of electrostatic and pseudomagnetic effects in electron scattering in chiral nanotubes and is characterized by an oscillatory dependence of the electron transmission probability on the nanotube chiral angle and the strength of the scattering potential. The appearance o...

Statistical analysis of the electronic structure of single-wall carbon nanotubes

The electronic structure of single-wall nanotubes in intact, undissolved ‘‘buckypaper’’ has been studied using scanning tunneling microscopy ~STM! and scanning tunneling spectroscopy ~STS! at 23 K. STM topography shows, that single-wall carbon nanotubes ~SWNT’s! form microbundles that in turn aggregate in ropes. STS allows us to distinguish between room temperature metallic and wide-gap SWNT’s....

Energy gaps in "metallic" single-walled carbon nanotubes.

Metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes have been proposed to be good one-dimensional conductors. However, the finite curvature of the graphene sheet that forms the nanotubes and the broken symmetry due to the local environment may modify their electronic properties. We used low-temperature atomically resolved scanning tunneling microscopy to investigate zigzag and armchair nanotubes, both thou...

Variable electron-phonon coupling in isolated metallic carbon nanotubes observed by Raman scattering.

We report the existence of broad and weakly asymmetric features in the high-energy (G) Raman modes of freely suspended metallic carbon nanotubes of defined chiral index. A significant variation in peak width (from 12 cm(-1) to 110 cm(-1)) is observed as a function of the nanotube's chiral structure. When the nanotubes are electrostatically gated, the peak widths decrease. The broadness of the R...

Atomic structure of carbon nanotubes from scanning tunneling microscopy

The atomic structure of a carbon nanotube can be described by its chiral angle and diameter and can be specified by a pair of lattice indices (n ,m). The electronic and mechanical properties are critically dependent on these indices. Scanning tunneling microscopy ~STM! is a useful tool to investigate carbon nanotubes since the atomic structure as well as the electronic properties of individual ...
