Consistent picture of strong electron correlation from magnetoresistance and tunneling conductance measurements in multiwall carbon nanotubes

Abstract
Both the magnetoconductance and the nonlinear differential conductance of multiwall carbon nanotube ropes have been studied at low temperture. Suppression in the differential conductance was observed at low bias voltages and at low temperatures, indicating the formation of a Coulomb gap. The magnetoconductance was found to follow a scaling law at both high and low temperatures, but with different mechanisms. The analysis of the data provides a sign of a non-Fermi-liquid-like behavior through magnetotransport measurement.
