Electronic Conduction in Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes: Role of Intershell Coupling and Inconmensurability

S. Roche, F. Triozon, A. Rubio, D. Mayou

Geometry incommensurability between weakly coupled shells in multi-walled carbon nanotubes is shown to be the origin of unconventional electronic conduction mechanism, power-law scaling of the conductance, and remarkable magnetotransport and low temperature dependent conductivity when the dephasing mechanism is dominated by weak electron–electron coupling.
