Spin and orbital splitting in ferromagnetic contacted single wall carbon nanotube devices

Abstract

We observed the coulomb blockade phenomena in ferromagnetic contacting single wall semiconducting carbon nanotube devices. No obvious Coulomb peaks shift was observed with existing only the Zeeman splitting at 4 K. Combining with other effects, the ferromagnetic leads prevent the orbital spin states splitting with magnetic field up to 2 T at 4 K. With increasing magnetic field further, both positive or negative coulomb peaks shift slopes are observed associating with clockwise and anticlockwise orbital state splitting. The strongly suppressed/enhanced of the conductance has been observed associating with the magnetic field induced orbital states splitting/converging.
