Transport Spectroscopy of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

We have performed transport spectroscopy on individual ropes of single-walled carbon nanotubes. We find that the levels are Zeeman split in a magnetic field, with a g-factor of 2.04 +- 0.05. The observed pattern of peak splittings indicates the parity of the number of electrons on the dot. In one device there are also signs of the presence of a second dot. We observe features which resemble anticrossings between quantum levels in the two dots, which may be formed from separate conducting nanotubes within the rope.

Single Electron Transport in Ropes of Carbon Nanotube

We have measured the electrical properties of individual bundles, or "ropes" of single-walled carbon nanotubes. Below ~10 K, the low bias conductance is suppressed for voltages below a few millivolts. In addition, dramatic peaks are observed in the conductance as a function of a gate voltage that modulates the number of electrons in the rope. We interpret these results in terms of single electron charging and resonant tunneling through the quantized energy levels of the nanotubes comprising the rope.
