Transport and superconductivity in carbon nanotubes
Abstract
The talk presents recent work on electronic transport in single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs) and the intrinsic superconducting properties of ropes of nanotubes. The results of dynamical Monte Carlo simulations [1] suggest a correlated sequential tunneling picture for transport through a double barrier in SWNTs at high temperatures. The second part of the talk describes a theory of superconductivity in nanotube ropes [2]. The role of quantum phase slips for the sub-Tc resistance is stressed. [1] S. Huegle and R.
