Spin stripes in nanotubes

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

It is shown here that electrons on the surface of a nanotube in a perpendicular magnetic field undergo spin-chirality separation along the circumference. Stripes of spin-polarization propagate along the tube, with a spatial pattern that can be modulated by the electron filling.
