Abstract

Nonlinear transport through interacting single-wall nanotubes containing a few impurities is studied theoretically. Extending the Luttinger liquid theory to incorporate trigonal warping and chirality effects, we derive the current contribution IeI_e {\sl even} in the applied voltage VV and {\sl odd} in an orbital magnetic field BB, which is non-zero only for chiral tubes and in the presence of interactions.
