The ground state and persistent currents exhibit an approximate fractional period of the flux quantum for a specific Fermi energy. The period depends on the aspect ratio of the cylinder and on the lattice structure around the axis. We discuss possibility of this nontrivial periodicity in a heavily doped armchair carbon nanotube.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-09-18T04:06:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fractional flux periodicity", "doped carbon nanotubes", "ground state", "specific fermi energy", "approximate fractional period" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
