Carbon nanotube superlattices in a magnetic field

Author(s): Jaskólski W, Pelc M

Abstract

The influence of magnetic field on the band structure of carbon nanotube superlattices is investigated. In particular, we study superlattices built of finite sections of (6,6) and (12,0) tubes connected by pentagon/heptagon topological defects. Magnetic field is parallel to the axis of the superlattice. We demonstrate that the superlattice band structure does not show periodicity with the flux quantum, which is typical for pure carbon nanotubes. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
