Abstract

Magnetic susceptibility χ\chi of pristine and brominated arc-produced sample of multiwall carbon nanotubes was measured from 4.2 to 400 K. An additional contribution Δχ(T)\Delta \chi(T) to diamagnetic susceptibility χ(T)\chi(T) of carbon nanotubes was found at T << 50 K for both samples. It is shown that Δχ(T)\Delta \chi(T) are dominated by quantum correction to χ\chi for interaction electrons (interaction effects-IE). The IE shows a crossover from two-dimensional to three-dimensional at BB = 5.5 T. The effective interaction between electrons for interior layers of nanotubes are repulsion and the electron-electron interaction λ\lambdac_c was estimated to be λc\lambda_c\sim 0.26.
