The effects of local electronic interactions and finite temperatures upon the transmission across the Cu$_4$CoCu$_4$ metallic heterostructure are studied in a combined density functional and dynamical mean field theory. It is shown that, as…

Single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) have displayed a wealth of quantum transport phenomena thus far. Defect free, unperturbed SWNTs with wellbehaved or tunable metal contacts are important to probing the intrinsic electrical properties of…

Motivated by the possibility of combining spintronics with molecular structures, we investigate the conditions for the appearance of spin-polarization in low-dimensional tubular systems by contacting them to a magnetic substrate. We derive…

We will study the competitive effect between the transport of a quantum dot adsorbed to a ballistic channel and laterally coupled to a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT). We will use the tight-binding approach to analytically write the…

We study the conductance of carbon nanotube wires in the presence of disorder, in the limit of phase coherent transport. For this purpose, we have developed a simple numerical procedure to compute transmission through carbon nanotubes and…

The one-dimensional confinement of quasiparticles in individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs) leads to extremely anisotropic electronic and optical properties. In a macroscopic ensemble of randomly oriented CNTs, this anisotropy disappears…

The low-energy electronic Hamiltonian for the thinest zigzag carbon nanotube, embedded into a dielectric host, is derived and its phase diagram is discussed. The specific multi-band structure and the microscopic form of the…

The electronic structures of zig-zag and arm-chair single-walled carbon nanotubes interacting with a transitional-metal atomic nanowire of Ni have been determined. The Ni nanowire creates a large electron density of states (DOS)at the Fermi…

Transport through carbon nanotube (CNT) quantum dots (QDs) in a magnetic field is discussed. The evolution of the system from the ultraviolet to the infrared is analyzed; the strongly correlated (SC) states arising in the infrared are…

We present a mechanism to improve the conductivity of carbon nanotube (CNT) networks by improving the conductance between CNTs of different chirality. We argue generally that a weak perturbation can greatly improve the inter-tube…

Single walled carbon nanotubes with Pd ohmic contacts and lengths ranging from several microns down to 10 nm are investigated by electron transport experiments and theory. The mean free path (mfp) for acoustic phonon scattering is estimated…

When a carbon nanotube is truncated with a certain type of edges, boundary states localized near the edges appear at the fermi level. Starting from lattice models, low energy effective theories are constructed which describe electron…

Carbon nanofibres (CNF) were dispersed into an epoxy resin using a combination of ultrasonication and mechanical mixing. The electronic transport properties of the resulting composites were investigated by means of impedance spectroscopy.…

Spin-coherent quantum transport in carbon nanotube magnetic tunnel junctions was investigated theoretically. A spin-valve effect is found for metallic, armchair tubes, with a magneto-conductance ratio ranging up to 20%. Because of the…

We consider the effect of various defects and boundary structures on the low energy electronic properties in conducting zigzag and armchair carbon nanotubes. The tight binding model of the conduction bands is mapped exactly onto simple…

The high aspect ratio of carbon nanotubes makes them prone to bending. To know how bending affects the tubes is therefore crucial for tube identification and for electrical component design. Very few studies, however, have investigated…

Prevalence of electronic gadgets has been on the rise and among several considerations that are important for furthering frontiers of utility of new gadgets is mechanical flexibility of electronic systems. Flexible electronics require…

We propose the model of a manifold of one-dimensional interacting electron systems to account for the superconductivity observed in ropes of nanotubes. We rely on the strong suppression of single-particle hopping between neighboring…

A mechanically bistable single-walled carbon nanotube can act as a variable-shaped capacitor with a voltage-controlled transition between collapsed and inflated states. This external control parameter provides a means to tune the system so…

Here we address a theoretical study on the behaviour of electronic states of heterojunctions and quantum dots based on carbon nanotubes under magnetic fields. Emphasis is put on the analysis of the local density of states, the conductance,…
