We explain interlayer transport in double-wall carbon nanotubes and design a predictive model. Wave function interference is visible at the mesoscale: in the strong coupling regime, as a periodic modulation of quantum conductance and emergent localized states; in the localized-insulating regime, as a suppression of interlayer transport, and oscillations of the density of states. These results could be exploited to design quantum electronic devices.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-08-01T15:22:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "interference effects", "design quantum electronic devices", "explain interlayer transport", "one-dimensional moire crystals", "double-wall carbon nanotubes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
