The results are consistent with the Tomonaga-Luttinger models. All metallic carbon nanotubes, regardless if they are armchair tubes, zigzag tubes, or chiral tubes, should have the same Luttinger parameter g. However, a (10,10) carbon peapod should have a smaller g value than a (10,10) carbon nanotube. Changing the Fermi level by applying a gate voltage has only a second order effect on the g value. RPA theory is a valid approach to calculate plasmon energy in carbon nanotube systems, regardless if the ground state is a Luttinger liquid or Fermi liquid.

(6), (9), and (19) were misprinted there.)", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-03-13T16:08:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "metallic carbon nanotubes", "luttinger parameter", "related systems", "random phase approximation", "carbon nanotube systems" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
