Bulk and boundary zero-bias anomaly in multi-wall carbon nanotubes

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2009-11-07 v2 Strongly Correlated Electrons

Abstract

We compute the tunneling density of states of doped multi-wall nanotubes including disorder and electron-electron interactions. A non-conventional Coulomb blockade reflecting nonperturbative Altshuler-Aronov-Lee power-law zero-bias anomalies is found, in accordance with recent experimental results. The presence of a boundary implies a universal doubling of the boundary exponent in the diffusive limit.
