Universality of electron correlations in conducting carbon nanotubes
Abstract
Effective low-energy Hamiltonian of interacting electrons in conducting single-wall carbon nanotubes with arbitrary chirality is derived from the microscopic lattice model. The parameters of the Hamiltonian show very weak dependence on the chiral angle, which makes the low energy properties of conducting chiral nanotubes universal. The strongest Mott-like electron instability at half filling is investigated within the self-consistent harmonic approximation. The energy gaps occur in all modes of elementary excitations and estimate at $0.01-0.1$ eV.
