Gate-dependent orbital magnetic moments in carbon nanotubes.

چکیده
We investigate how the orbital magnetic moments of electron and hole states in a carbon nanotube quantum dot depend on the number of carriers on the dot. Low temperature transport measurements are carried out in a setup where the device can be rotated in an applied magnetic field, thus enabling accurate alignment with the nanotube axis. The field dependence of the level structure is measured by excited state spectroscopy and excellent correspondence with a single-particle calculation is found. In agreement with band structure calculations we find a decrease of the orbital magnetic moment with increasing electron or hole occupation of the dot, with a scale given by the band gap of the nanotube.

g-tensor control in bent carbon nanotube quantum dots
We demonstrate gate control of the electronic g tensor in single and double quantum dots formed along a bend in a carbon nanotube. From the dependence of the single-dot excitation spectrum on magnetic field magnitude and direction, we extract spin-orbit coupling, valley coupling, and spin and orbital magnetic moments. Gate control of the g tensor is measured using the splitting of the Kondo pea...

متن کاملQuantum dots in carbon nanotubes
In this overview paper, we present low-temperature electronic transport measurements of carbon nanotube quantum dots with a back gate. In a semiconducting tube, charge carriers could be completely depleted. The addition energy and the excitation spectrum have been studied as a function of the number of charges (electrons or holes), one by one. We observe electron–hole symmetry, which is a direc...
متن کاملThe effect of vacancy-induced magnetism on electronic transport in armchair carbon nanotubes.
The influence of local magnetic moment formation around three kinds of vacancies on the electron conduction through metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes is studied by use of the Landauer formalism within the coherent regime. The method is based on the single-band tight-binding Hamiltonian, a surface Green function calculation, and the mean-field Hubbard model. The numerical results show that t...
