Effect of electron-RBM phonon interaction on conductance of metallic zigzag carbon nanotubes

Lattice dynamics and electron-phonon interaction in (3,3) carbon nanotubes.

We present a detailed study of the lattice dynamics and electron-phonon coupling for a (3,3) carbon nanotube which belongs to the class of small diameter based nanotubes which have recently been claimed to be superconducting. We treat the electronic and phononic degrees of freedom completely by modern ab initio methods without involving approximations beyond the local density approximation. Usi...

Electron-phonon interaction in ultrasmall-radius carbon nanotubes

Zigzag carbon nanotubes with generic electron-electron interactions

A Hamiltonian is derived for a zigzag carbon nanotube with an arbitrary number of weak electron-electron charge and spin interactions, which become significant in ultraclean systems. The renormalization group and bosonization are used to determine the ground-state phase diagram. Our phase diagram contains some exotic phases which have not previously been predicted in carbon nanotubes with physi...

Effects of electron-phonon interaction on transport through carbon nanotubes: lifting of degeneracies in Fock-space

In this contribution we present a brief overview of recent results about the effects of electron-phonon interaction in electronic transport through metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes. In particular, we present an electron-phonon-induced backscattering mechanism which can be seen as the removal of degeneracies in the electron-phonon Fock space. This mechanism, which is activated when drivin...
