The parameters of the Hamiltonian show very weak dependence on the chiral angle, which makes the low energy properties of conducting chiral nanotubes universal. The strongest Mott-like electron instability at half filling is investigated within the self-consistent harmonic approximation. The energy gaps occur in all modes of elementary excitations and estimate at $0.01-0.1$ eV.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-11-10T17:14:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "conducting carbon nanotubes", "electron correlations", "universality", "microscopic lattice model", "conducting single-wall carbon nanotubes" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
