Effects of magnetic field and disorder on electronic properties of Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract

Electronic properties of metallic and semiconducting carbon nanotubes are investigated in presence of magnetic field perpendicular to the CN-axis, and disorder introduced through energy site randomness. The magnetic field field is shown to induce a metal-insulator transition (MIT) in absence of disorder, and surprisingly disorder does not affect significantly the MIT. These results may find confirmation through tunneling experiments
