A low energy-theory for non-linear transport in finite-size single-wall carbon nanotubes, based on a microscopic model for the interacting pz electrons and successive bosonization, is presented. Due to the multiple degeneracy of the energy…

We find an unusually optimal near field heat transfer, where the maximum heat transfer is reached at experimentally feasible gap separation. We attribute this to the localized zero-energy electronic edge states, which also substantially…

SU(N) Hubbard models exhibit a rich variety of phases, which may be realized through quantum simulation with ultracold atomic gases in optical lattices. In this work we study the Mott insulating phases of the SU(3) Hubbard model at…

We describe both pi-conjugated polymers and semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes because of the remarkable similarities in their behavior under photoexcitation. The common themes between these two seemingly different classes of…

Carbon nanotubes are the focus of considerable research efforts due to their fascinating physical properties. They provide an excellent model system for the study of one dimensional materials and molecular electronics. The chirality of…

We study the phase diagram of a model quantum spin Hall system as a function of band inversion and band-coupling strength, demonstrating that when band hybridization is weak, an interaction-induced nematic insulator state emerges over a…

High pressure Raman experiments were performed on bundled double wall carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs). We observe peculiar regularity in the strength of the inner-outer tube (intratube) interaction, which is attributed to the interplay between…

A fast charged particle scattering on a single-wall carbon nanotube of zigzag type was considered. The differential cross sections of scattering on nanotubes of different spatial orientation with respect to the incident particles were…

ultiwalled carbon nanotubes, prepared by both electric arc discharge and chemical vapor deposition methods, show a strong visible light emission in photoluminescence experiments. All the samples employed in the experiments exhibit nearly…

Electronic many-body correlation effects in one-dimensional (1D) systems such as carbon nanotubes have been predicted to modify strongly the nature of photoexcited states. Here we directly probe this effect using broadband elastic light…

We have studied electron transport in clean single-walled carbon nanotube quantum dots. Because of the large number of Coulomb blockade diamonds simultaneously showing both shell structure and Kondo effect, we are able to perform a detailed…

Disorder effects on the density of states and electronic conduction in metallic carbon nanotubes are analyzed by a tight binding model with Gaussian bond disorder. Metallic armchair and zigzag nanotubes are considered. We obtain a…

We study the two-terminal transport properties of a metallic single-walled carbon nanotube with good contacts to electrodes, which have recently been shown [W. Liang et al, Nature 441, 665-669 (2001)] to conduct ballistically with weak…

We perform electronic structure and quantum transport studies of dangling bond loops created on H-passivated Si(100) surfaces and connected to carbon nanoribbon leads. We model loops with straight and zigzag topologies as well as with…

With recent experiments investigating the optical properties of progressively smaller plasmonic particles, quantum effects become increasingly more relevant, requiring a microscopic description. Using the density matrix formalism we analyze…

The low--energy excited states of a system of interacting one--dimensional fermions in a conducting state are collective charge and spin density oscillations. The unusual physical properties of such a system (called ``Luttinger liquid'')…

The system with externally polarized dipole molecules at half-filling moving along a one-dimensional zig-zag chain is studied theoretically, including the ground-state phase diagram. The dipoles are oriented in-plane. Together with the…

We have investigated the effects of the interfacial bond arrangement on the electronic transport features of metal-nanotube-metal systems. The transport properties of finite, defect-free armchair and zigzag single-walled carbon nanotubes…

We study the low-energy electronic properties of a junction made of two crossed metallic carbon nanotubes of general chiralities. We derive a tight binding tunneling matrix element that couples low-energy states on the two tubes, which…

The electronic spectra for double-wall zigzag and armchair nanotubes are found. The influence of nanotube curvatures on the electronic spectra is also calculated. Our finding that the outer shell is hole doped by the inner shell is in the…
