One-dimensional transport in hybrid metal-semiconductor nanotube systems
arXiv:1512.01285 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.93.115422
Abstract
We develop an electron transport theory for the hybrid system of a semiconducting carbon nanotube that encapsulates a one-atom-thick metallic wire. The theory predicts Fano resonances in electron transport through the system, whereby the interaction of electrons on the wire with nanotube plasmon generated near-fields blocks some of the wire transmission channels to open up the new coherent plasmon-mediated channel in the nanotube forbidden gap outside the wire transmission band. Such a channel makes the entire hybrid system transparent in the energy domain where neither wire, nor nanotube is indivudually transparent. This effect can be used to manipulate by the electron charge transfer in hybrid nanodevices built on metal-semiconductor nanotube systems.
