Resonant magneto-conductance through a vibrating nanotube

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2010-06-17 v1

Abstract

We address the electronic resonant transport in presence of a transverse magnetic field through the single level of a suspended carbon nanotube acting as a quantum oscillator. We predict a negative magneto-conductance with a magnetic-field induced narrowing of the resonance line and a reduction of the conductance peak when the nanotube is asymmetrically contacted to the leads. At finite bias voltage we study the threshold for phonon-assisted transport.
