Luttinger Liquid Behavior in Metallic Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract: Coulomb interaction effects have pronounced consequences in carbon nanotubes due to their 1D nature. In particular, correlations imply the breakdown of Fermi liquid theory and typically lead to Luttinger liquid behavior characterized by pronounced power-law suppression of the transport current and the density of states, and spin-charge separation. This paper provides a review of the current understanding of non-Fermi liquid effects in metallic single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs). We provide a self-contained theoreti… Show more

“…Another surprising observation is, that it can be observed also in multi wall carbon nanotubes, in spite of the much weaker 1-dimensionality there [18]. The observation of the Luttinger liquid effect confirm ancient theories [17], however we would still like to see other consequences of this new liquid and understand why, for instance, the odd-even behaviour, described above, is not affected. No semiclassical and intuitive picture of the Luttinger liquid exists.…”

“…TLL with finite g (long-range interaction cut off by the finite length of the sample and the width of the tube) without screening gate is indeed realized in a SWNT [21]. The boundary condition which ensures Q + Q TLL = 0 with no reference to the metallic gate is, in fact,…”

“…Choosing according to Refs. 7,3 v ≈ 8 · 10 7 cm/sec and a ≈ 20 nm, one finds that characteristic plasmon frequencies lie in far infrared region ω ∼ 10 14 sec −1 , while characteristic wave vectors are estimated as q ∼ 10 6 cm −1 .…”

“…A single wire is characterized by its radius r 0 , length L, and LL interaction parameter g. The minimal nanotube radius is r 0 ≈ 0.35 nm, 13 maximal nanotube length is L ≈ 1 mm, and the LL parameter is estimated as g ≈ 0.3. 7 In experimentally realizable setups 3 the QCB is a cross-structure of suspended single-wall carbon nanotubes lying in two parallel planes separated by an interplane distance d, placed on a dielectric or semiconductor substrate (see Fig.1). Nevertheless, some generic properties of QCB may be described under the assumption that QCB is a genuine 2D system.…”
