Measuring electron orbital magnetic moments in carbon nanotubes
arXiv:cond-mat/0402425 · doi:10.1038/nature02425
Abstract
The remarkable transport properties of carbon nanotubes (NTs) are determined by their unique electronic structure (1). The electronic states of a NT form one-dimensional electron and hole subbands which, in general, are separated by an energy gap (2,3). States near the energy gap are predicted to have a large orbital magnetic moment much larger than the Bohr magneton (4,5). The moment is due to electron motion around the NT circumference. This orbital magnetic moment is thought to play a role in the magnetic susceptibility of NTs (6-9) and the magneto-resistance observed in large multi-walled NTs (10-12). However, the coupling between magnetic field and the electronic states of an individual NT has not been experimentally quantified. We have made electrical measurements of relatively small diameter (2 - 5 nm) individual NTs in the presence of an axial magnetic field. We observe energy shifts of electronic states and the associated changes in subband structure. Our results quantitatively confirm predicted values for orbital magnetic moments in NTs.
