Electronic spectra of commensurate and incommensurate DWNTs in parallel magnetic field
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the electronic spectra of commensurate and incommensurate double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) of finite length. The coupling between nanotube shells is taken into account as an intershell electron tunneling. Selection rules for the intershell coupling are derived. Due to the finite size of the system, these rules do not represent exact conservation of the crystal momentum, but only an approximate one; therefore the coupling between longitudinal momentum states in incommensurate DWNTs becomes possible. The use of the selection rules allows a fast and efficient calculation of the electronic spectrum. In the presence of a magnetic field parallel to the DWNT axis we find spectrum modulations which depend on the chiralities of the shells.

Van derWaals-coupled electronic states in incommensurate double-walled carbon nanotubes
Non-commensurate two-dimensional materials such as a twisted graphene bilayer or graphene on boron nitride, consisting of components that have no finite common unit cell, exhibit emerging moiré physics such as novel Van Hove singularities1–3, Fermi velocity renormalization4,5, mini Dirac points6 and Hofstadter butterflies7–11. Here we use double-walled carbonnanotubes as amodel system for probi...
متن کاملAlternating commensurate - incommensurate structures in the magnetic
The magnetic phase diagram of the quasi one-dimensional spinchain system CsNiF 3 below the Néel temperature is determined. For magnetic fields perpendicular to the spin chains incommensurate phases are predicted. From linear spin-wave theory we obtain the instability line of the paramagnetic phase as a function of the strength and the direction of the field. The system undergoes a transition to...
متن کاملField-induced incommensurate spin structure of TbNiAl4
TbNiAl4 exhibits incommensurate and commensurate magnetic ordering as a function of temperature. As a function of applied field it undergoes a series of magnetic phase transitions. The first of these transitions, into an intermediate spin arrangement, is the source of a large inverse magnetocaloric effect, an unusual result given that an aligning field is being applied. This has potential uses ...
متن کاملFractal Landau-level spectra in twisted bilayer graphene.
The Hofstadter butterfly spectrum for Landau levels in a two-dimensional periodic lattice is a rare example exhibiting fractal properties in a truly quantum system. However, the observation of this physical phenomenon in a conventional material will require a magnetic field strength several orders of magnitude larger than what can be produced in a modern laboratory. It turns out that for a spec...
متن کاملInfrared-active excitations related to Ho ligand-field splitting at the commensurate-incommensurate magnetic phase transition in HoMn2O5
Linearly polarized spectra of far-infrared (IR) transmission in HoMn2O5 multiferroic single crystals have been studied in the frequency range between 8.5 and 105 cm and for temperatures between 5 K and 300 K. Polarization of IR-active excitations depends on the crystallographic directions in HoMn2O5 and is sensitive to the magnetic phase transitions. We attribute these infrared-active excitatio...
