Tunneling into multiwalled carbon nanotubes: coulomb blockade and the Fano resonance.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tunneling spectroscopy measurements of single tunnel junctions formed between multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and a normal metal are reported. Intrinsic Coulomb interactions in the MWNTs give rise to a strong zero-bias suppression of a tunneling density of states that can be fitted numerically to the environmental quantum-fluctuation theory. An asymmetric conductance anomaly near zero bias is found at low temperatures and interpreted as Fano resonance in the strong tunneling regime.

Intrinsic Coulomb blockade in multi-wall carbon nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes provide a new class of molecular wires that display new and exciting mesoscopic transport properties. We provide a detailed theoretical description for transport in multi-wall nanotubes, where both disorder and strong interactions are important. The interplay of both aspects leads to a particularly effective intrinsic Coulomb blockade for tunneling. The relation to recent exper...
متن کاملFabry–Perot interference, Kondo effect and Coulomb blockade in carbon nanotubes
High quality single wall carbon nanotube quantum dots have been made showing both metallic and semiconducting behavior. Some of the devices are identified as small band gap semiconducting nanotubes with relatively high broad conductance oscillations for hole transport through the valence band and low conductance Coulomb blockade oscillations for electron transport through the conduction band. T...
متن کاملCoulomb Interactions and Mesoscopic Effects in Carbon Nanotubes
We argue that long-range Coulomb forces convert an isolated sN , Nd armchair carbon nanotube into a strongly renormalized Luttinger liquid. At high temperatures, we find anomalous temperature dependences for the interaction and impurity contributions to the resistivity, and similar power-law dependences for the local tunneling density of states. At low temperatures, the nanotube exhibits spin-c...
متن کاملOrthogonality Catastrophes in Carbon Nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes provide a remarkably versatile system in which to explore the effects of Coulomb interactions in one dimension. The most dramatic effects of strong electron-electron repulsion are orthogonality catastrophes. These orthogonality catastrophes come in different varieties, and can be observed both in low-bias transport and tunneling measurements on nanotubes. This article contains ...
متن کاملSimultaneous electrical transport and scanning tunneling spectroscopy of carbon nanotubes.
We performed scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements on suspended single-walled carbon nanotubes with independently addressable source and drain electrodes in the Coulomb blockade regime. This three-terminal configuration allows the resistance to the source and drain electrodes to be individually measured, which we exploit to demonstrate that electrons were added to spin-degenerate states ...
