Nonlinear magnetotransport in interacting chiral nanotubes.

چکیده
Nonlinear transport through interacting single-wall nanotubes containing a few impurities is studied theoretically. Extending the Luttinger liquid theory to incorporate trigonal warping and chirality effects, we derive the current contribution Ie even in the applied voltage V and odd in an orbital magnetic field B, which is nonzero only for chiral tubes and in the presence of interactions.

On the Mechanical Properties of Chiral Carbon Nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are specific structures with valuable characteristics. In general, the structure of each nanotube is defined by a unique chiral vector. In this paper, different structures of short single-walled CNTs are simulated and their mechanical properties are determined using finite element method. For this aim, a simple algorithm is presented which is able to model the geometry o...

In this research, the influence of structure on the tensile properties of single- walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is evaluated using molecular mechanics technique and finite element method. The effects of diameter, length and chiral angle on elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio of armchair, zigzag and chiral structures are investigated. To simulate the CNTs, a 3D FEM code is developed using the A...
متن کاملElectronic conduction in multi-walled carbon nanotubes: Role of intershell coupling and incommensurability
Geometry incommensurability between weakly coupled shells in multi-walled carbon nanotubes is shown to be the origin of unconventional electronic conduction mechanism, power-law scaling of the conductance, and remarkable magnetotransport and low temperature dependent conductivity when the dephasing mechanism is dominated by weak electron-electron coupling.
