Orthogonality Catastrophes in Carbon Nanotubes

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

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 a review of previous work and new material on the crossover between Coulomb blockade and Luttinger behavior.
