What is Aharonov–Bohm-like mesoscopic transport through a toroidal carbon nanotube coupled with normal metallic leads about?
The Aharonov-Bohm-like mesoscopic transport through a toroidal carbon nanotube (TCN) system coupled to two metallic electrodes has been investigated. The TCN is applied with a static magnetic flux, and the Zeeman effect also affects the transport properties. The novel oscillation structures are obtained in the zero-bias conductance, differential conductance and tunneling current, which are strongly associated with the structures of TCNs. The aperiodic and resonant behaviors are observed due to the Zeeman effect and finite size of TCNs. The conductance increases with the size of TCN. The tunneling current through metallic armchair TCN possesses rich oscillation structure compared with that of semiconducting zigzag TCN, and the conductance G > 2e 2 /h is exhibited due to the interference effect. The I-V characteristics are calculated to exhibit nonlinear and stairlike behaviors. The stairs in the I-V characteristics for the zigzag TCN are associated with the resonant peaks of differential conductance versus source-drain bias.
