Persistent currents in carbon nanotubes based rings

S. Latil, S. Roche, A. Rubio

Persistent currents in rings constructed from carbon nanotubes are investigated theoretically. After studying the contribution of finite temperature or quenched disorder on covalent rings, the complexity due to the bundle packing is addressed. The case of interacting nanotori and self-interacting coiled nanotubes are analyzed in detail in relation to experiments.
