Contrary to the usual behavior for the spin-1/2 Kondo effect we find that the temperature dependence of the zero bias conductance is nonmonotonic. In nonlinear transport measurements low-energy splittings of the Kondo resonances are observed at zero magnetic field. We suggest that these anomalies reflect interactions between the nanotube and a magnetic (catalyst) particle. The nanotube device may effectively act as a ferromagnetically contacted Kondo dot.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-10-25T10:01:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "carbon nanotube quantum dot", "transport measurements low-energy splittings", "dot exhibiting kondo resonances", "quantum dot exhibiting kondo", "nanotube quantum dot exhibiting" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 3, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004cond.mat.10467N" } } }
