Quantum-dot transport in carbon nanotubes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transport measurements on a bundle of single-walled carbon nanotubes have been made below 4.2 K as a function of side gate and source–drain bias voltage. The transport of an individual nanotube is described by the Coulomb blockade effect. The zero-dimensional quantum states of the nanotube become clear for measurements of large bias voltage. In addition, we present preliminary results of microwave application to the SWNT dot, and the results can be qualitatively explained by classical coupling to the dot. c © 2000 Academic Press

Transport spectroscopy of an impurity spin in a carbon nanotube double quantum dot.
We make use of spin selection rules to investigate the electron spin system of a carbon nanotube double quantum dot. Measurements of the electron transport as a function of the magnetic field and energy detuning between the quantum dots reveal an intricate pattern of the spin state evolution. We demonstrate that the complete set of measurements can be understood by taking into account the inter...
متن کاملSingle-wall Carbon Nanotubes with Ferromagnetic Electrodes
The electron transport in single-wall carbon nanotubes is one-dimensional and ballistic. Typically carbon nanotubes form tunneling contacts to electrodes and behave as quantum dots at low temperatures. We report on experiments on carbon nanotubes contacted with ferromagnetic metal. In these devices strong hysteretic magnetoresistance is observed at low temperatures. A possible interpretation of...

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) serve as a new class of ‘zero dimensional’ nanomaterial’s in thecarbon class with sizes below 10 nm. As light emitting nanocrystals, QDs are assembled from semiconductormaterials, from the elements in the periodic groups of II-VI, III-V or IV-VI, mainly thanks to impacts of quantum confinement QDs have unique optical properties such as brighter, highly pho...
متن کاملSubgap spectroscopy of thermally excited quasiparticles in a Nb-contacted carbon nanotube quantum dot
We present electronic transport measurements of a single wall carbon nanotube quantum dot coupled to Nb superconducting contacts. For temperatures comparable to the superconducting gap, peculiar transport features are observed inside the Coulomb blockade and superconducting energy gap regions. The observed temperature dependence can be explained in terms of sequential tunneling processes involv...
متن کاملSpin transport across carbon nanotube quantum dots
We investigate linear and nonlinear transport in interacting single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) that are weakly attached to ferromagnetic leads. For the reduced density matrix of a SWCNT quantum dot, equations of motion which account for an arbitrarily vectored magnetisation of the contacts are derived. We focus on the case of large diameter nanotubes where exchange effects emerging from sho...
