Quantum conductance of a helically coiled carbon nanotube
Using a π-orbital tight-binding model, we investigate the transport properties of a coiled carbon nanotube (also called carbon nanotube spring), which we construct by connecting carbon nanotubes periodically in three-dimensional (3D) space. The conductance is quantized due to the translational symme...
