Abstract

We study the Ruderman-Kittle-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction in doped both armchair and zigzag nanotubes. The effects of both gap parameter and electron doping on RKKY interaction have been addressed. RKKY interaction for traverse components of localized spins as a function of distance between localized moments has been analyzed. In order to calculate the exchange interaction along arbitrary direction between two magnetic moments, we should obtain transverse static spin susceptibility of graphene like nanotubes in the presence of gap parameter and electron doping. The spin susceptibility components are calculated using the spin dependent Green's function approach for tight binding model Hamiltonian. The effects of tube diameter on the dependence of exchange interaction on distance between moments are investigated via calculating correlation function of spin density operators. Our results show the influences of electron doping on the spatial behavior of transverse RKKY interactions are different for zigzag and armchair types of nanotube.
