چکیده
As electrode material, a 10/40 nm Ti/Pt bilayer is patterned on top of a degenerately doped Si substrate with a 500 nm thick insulating capping layer, see Fig. S1. In order to avoid contamination of the CNT, we grow the carbon nanotube as a last fabrication step across the contact electrodes separated by a 1.2μm trench. The identification of a promising device is done solely via room temperature transport measurements using a probe station. This is necessary to avoid contamination of the nanotube. The transport measurements presented in the main text, Fig. 1, were recorded at a base temperature of 15 mK in a He/He dilution refrigerator. All data shown in the main text is recorded in a standard DC measurement setup, see schematics in Fig. S1. Voltage sources are connected to the source contact and to the doped substrate while the drain contact is grounded. The current is measured at the drain contact using a current-voltage converter. The conductance data is obtained by numerical derivation.

Secondary Electron Interference from Trigonal Warping in Clean Carbon Nanotubes.
We investigate Fabry-Perot interference in an ultraclean carbon nanotube resonator. The conductance shows a clear superstructure superimposed onto conventional Fabry-Perot oscillations. A sliding average over the fast oscillations reveals a characteristic slow modulation of the conductance as a function of the gate voltage. We identify the origin of this secondary interference in intervalley an...
متن کاملProbing the electronic trigonal warping effect in individual single-wall carbon nanotubes using phonon spectra
We have studied the trigonal warping effect in metallic carbon nanotubes using resonance Raman scattering and examining the G0-band profile for individual metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes. We show that the observed splitting in the G0-band phonon spectra is directly correlated with the splitting in the singularities of the joint density of electronic states, i.e., detailed information abou...
متن کاملTrigonal warping effect of carbon nanotubes
Chirality-dependent van Hove singularities ~vHs! of the one-dimensional electronic density of states ~DOS! are discussed in connection with resonant Raman spectroscopy. The effect of trigonal warping on the energy dispersion relations near the Fermi energy splits the peaks of the density of states for metallic nanotubes, and the magnitude of this effect depends on the chiral angle of the carbon...
متن کاملElectron Interference Effects on the Conductance of Doped Carbon Nanotubes
We investigate the effects of impurity scattering on the conductance of metallic carbon nanotubes as a function of the relative separation of the impurities. First we compute the conductance of a clean (6,6) tube, and the effect of model gold contacts on this conductance. Then, we compute the effect of introducing a single, two, and three oxygen atom impurities. We find that the conductance of ...
متن کاملStructure-assigned optical spectra of single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Spectrofluorimetric measurements on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) isolated in aqueous surfactant suspensions have revealed distinct electronic absorption and emission transitions for more than 30 different semiconducting nanotube species. By combining these fluorimetric results with resonance Raman data, each optical transition has been mapped to a specific (n,m) nanotube structure. Op...
