Existing Quantum Monte Carlo studies have investigated the properties of fermions on a Lieb (CuO$_2$) lattice interacting with an on-site, or near-neighbor electron-electron coupling. Attention has focused on the interplay of such…
Single-wall carbon nanotubes are almost ideal systems for the investigation of exotic many-body effects due to non-Fermi liquid behavior of interacting electrons in one dimension. Recent theoretical and experimental results are reviewed…
Motivated by recent experiments on small radius nanotubes, we study the superconducting instabilities of cylindrical (5,0) nanotubes. According to band structure calculations, thesenanotubes possess three bands at the Fermi energy. Using a…
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have a very large application potential in the rapid developing field of molecular electronics. Infinite single-wall metallic CNTs have theoretically a conductance of 4e2/h because of the two electronic bands crossing…
We show that a model of interacting electrons in one dimension is able to explain the order of magnitude as well as the temperature dependence of the critical supercurrents recently measured in nanotube samples placed between…
Poor screening of the long-range Coulomb interaction in one-dimensional carbon nanotubes results in a peculiar picture of contact phenomena. Being brought to a contact with a metal, conducting nanotube accumulates electric charge whose…
A recent study [Rosati, Dolcini, and Rossi, Appl. Phys. Lett. 106, 243101 (2015)] has predicted that, while in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) an electronic wave packet experiences the typical spatial diffusion of…
By means of {\it ab initio} simulations, we investigate the phonon band structure and electron-phonon coupling in small 4-\AA diameter nanotubes. We show that both the C(5,0) and C(3,3) tubes undergo above room temperature a Peierls…
Using high-energy-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering, we observe anomalous softening and damping of the transverse acoustic phonon in UPt$_2$Si$_2$ as the system is cooled towards the charge density wave (CDW) transition temperature,…
We describe the electro-thermal transport in metallic carbon nanotubes (m-CNTs) by a semi-classical approach that takes into account the high-field dynamical interdependence between charge carrier and phonon populations. Our model is based…
Recent investigations of superconductivity in carbon nanotubes have shown that a single-wall zigzag nanotube can become superconducting at around 15 K. Theoretical studies of superconductivity in nanotubes using the traditional phonon…
More than a century after discovery, the theory of conventional superconductivity remains incomplete. While the importance of electron-phonon coupling is understood, a controlled first-principles treatment of Coulomb interaction is lacking.…
The interactions between carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and metal adatoms as well as metal contacts are studied by means of ab initio electronic structure calculations. We show that the electronic properties of a semiconducting (8,4) CNT can be…
We report here on electrical measurements on individual multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) that show that the presence or movement of impurities or defects in the carbon nanotube can radically change its low temperature transport…
Recently, ultra-small-diameter Single Wall Nano Tubes with diameter of $ \sim 0.4 nm$ have been produced and many unusual properties were observed, such as superconductivity, leading to a transition temperature $T_c\sim 15^oK$, much larger…
We consider a one-dimensional electron system, suitable for the description of the electronic correlations in a metallic carbon nanotube. Renormalization group methods are used to study the low-energy behavior of the unscreened Coulomb…
A very recent report claims that ambient-pressure high-temperature ($T_c$) superconductivity was found in boron-doped three-dimensional networks of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Here, we systematically study the electron-phonon coupling (EPC) of…
Looking for superconductors with higher transition temperature requires a guiding principle. In conventional superconductors, electrons pair up into Cooper pairs via the retarded attraction mediated by electron-phonon coupling.…
We investigate the interplay between charge density wave (CDW) instabilities and ferromagnetism in SmNiC$_2$ using diffuse and inelastic x-ray scattering together with Raman spectroscopy. We identify a soft acoustic phonon driving the…
A theoretical analysis of the superconductivity observed recently in Carbon nanotubes is proposed. We argue that ultra-small (diameter $ \sim 0.4 nm$) single wall carbon nanotubes (with transition temperature $T_c\sim 15 ^{o}K$) and…
