Effect of a Carbon Nanotube on Ballistic Conduction through Single-Quantum-Dot

Diffusive-Ballistic Heat Conduction along a Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube

The diffusive-ballistic heat conduction of finite-length single-walled carbon nanotubes has been studied by means of nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The length dependence of thermal conductivity [1] is quantified for a range of nanotube lengths up to 1.6 μm at room temperature. A gradual transition from nearly pure ballistic to diffusive-ballistic heat conduction was identified f...

Even-odd effect in Andreev transport through a carbon nanotube quantum dot.

We have measured the current (I)-voltage (V) characteristics of a single-wall carbon nanotube quantum dot coupled to superconducting source and drain contacts in the intermediate coupling regime. Whereas the enhanced differential conductance dI/dV due to the Kondo resonance is observed in the normal state, this feature around zero-bias voltage is absent in the superconducting state. Nonetheless...

Effect of asymmetric quantum dot rings in electron transport through a quantum wire

The electronic conductance at zero temperature through a quantum wire with side-connected asymmetric quantum ring (as a scatter system) is theoretically studied using the non-interacting Hamiltonian Anderson tunneling method. In this paper we concentrate on the configuration of the quantum dot rings. We show that the asymmetric structure of QD-scatter system strongly influences the amplitude an...
