We study theoretically the electron transport properties in carbon nanotubes under the influence of an external electric field E(t) using Boltzmann's equation. The current-density equation is derived. Negative differential conductivity is…

We consider theoretically the dynamics of electric currents optically injected in carbon nanotubes. Although the plasma oscillations are not seen in these systems, the main effect on the carrier's motion is due to strongly nonuniform…

The effect of Coulomb interaction upon superconductive proximity effect in disordered metals is studied, employing newly developed Keldysh functional approach (cond-mat/9907358). We have calculated subgap Andreev conductance between…

The electronic structure of finite-length armchair carbon nanotubes has been studied using several ab-initio and semi-empirical quantum computational techniques. The additional confinement of the electrons along the tube axis leads to the…

Recent advances in nanotechnology have provided new materials which have the potential to surpass copper and aluminum alloys in electrical conductivity, weight and ampacity [2-6]. Among these carbon nanotubes (CNTs) stand out due to their…

For a system of two spatially separated monoatomic graphene layers encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride, we consider the drag effect between charge carriers in the Fermi liquid regime. Commonly, the phenomenon is described in terms of an…

The effects of Coulomb interactions on the electronic properties of bilayer graphene nanoribbons (BGNs) covered by a gate electrode are studied theoretically. The electron density distribution and the potential profile are calculated…

Microscopic derivation of the Coulomb exchange interaction for electrons located on the nanotubes is presented. Our derivation is based on the many-particle quantum hydrodynamic method. We demonstrate the role of the curvature of the…

Linear transport through a single-walled carbon nanotube ring (CNR), pierced by a magnetic field and capacitively coupled to a gate voltage source, is investigated starting from a model of interacting $p_z$-electrons. The dc-conductance,…

We consider a 2-1 electrolyte in contact with a narrow nanotube, which only allows one-dimensional storage along the axis. The asymmetry does not allow an a priori definition of the potential of zero charge; instead, the natural reference…

We present a tight binding theory to analyze the motion of electrons between carbon nanotubes bundled into a carbon nanotube rope. The theory is developed starting from a description of the propagating Bloch waves on ideal tubes, and the…

We formulate and study the effective low-energy quantum theory of interacting long-wavelength acoustic phonons in carbon nanotubes within the framework of continuum elasticity theory. A general and analytical derivation of all three- and…

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes are shown to be ballistic conductors at room temperature, with mean free paths of the order of tens of microns. These experiments follow and extend the original experiments by Frank et al (Science, 280 1744…

Carbon nanotubes are a versatile material in which many aspects of condensed matter physics come together. Recent discoveries, enabled by sophisticated fabrication, have uncovered new phenomena that completely change our understanding of…

Recently, it was suggested that the polarization dependence of light absorption to a single-walled carbon nanotube is altered by carrier doping. We specify theoretically the doping level at which the polarization anisotropy is reversed by…

We investigate the density and temperature-dependent conductance of graphene nanoribbons with varying aspect ratio. Transport is dominated by a chain of quantum dots forming spontaneously due to disorder. Depending on ribbon length,…

The bending of a carbon nanotube is studied by considering the structural evolution of a carbon nanotorus from elastic deformation to the onset of the kinks and eventually to the collapse of the walls of the nanotorus. The changes in the…

Effect of contact interfaces, between metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and external electrodes made also of nanotubes, on the electrical conductance is studied. A tight-binding model with both diagonal and off-diagonal…

Recent experimental and theoretical results on intrinsic superconductivity in ropes of single-wall carbon nanotubes are reviewed and compared. We find strong experimental evidence for superconductivity when the distance between the normal…

We observe the capture and field ionization of individual atoms near the side wall of a single suspended nanotube. Extremely large cross sections for ionization from an atomic beam are observed at modest voltages due to the nanotube's small…
