De Martino, A., Egger, R., Murphy-Armando, F. & Hallberg, K. (2004). Spin-orbit coupling and electron spin resonance for interacting electrons in carbon nanotubes. Journal of Physics Condensed Matter, 16(17), S1437-S1452. doi: 10.1088/0953-8984/16/17/002
Abstract
We review the theoretical description of spin-orbit scattering and electron spin resonance in carbon nanotubes. Particular emphasis is laid on the effects of electron-electron interactions. The spin-orbit coupling is derived, and the resulting ESR spectrum is analyzed both using the effective low-energy field theory and numerical studies of finite-size Hubbard chains and two-leg Hubbard ladders. For single-wall tubes, the field theoretical description predicts a double peak spectrum linked to the existence of spin-charge separation. The numerical analysis basically confirms this picture, but also predicts additional features in finite-size samples.
