Effects of magnetic field and disorder on electronic properties of Carbon Nanotubes
arXiv:cond-mat/9811239 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.59.5242
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
