Measuring electron orbital magnetic moments in carbon nanotubes
E. D. Minot, Yuval Yaish, Vera Sazonova +1
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 a…

Tuning carbon nanotube bandgaps with strain
E. D. Minot, Yuval Yaish, Vera Sazonova +3
We show that the band structure of a carbon nanotube (NT) can be dramatically altered by mechanical strain. We employ an atomic force microscope tip to simultaneously vary the NT s…
