摘要
Electrical transport measurements have been carried out below 100 mK on individual single-wall carbon nanotube, on which a narrow SiO2 layer was deposited between source and drain contacts. The current voltage curves with different gate voltages showed modulation of the current-suppressed region near zero bias voltage (Coulomb gap), and a negative differential conductance at large biases. These results together with the bias dependence of Coulomb blockade oscillations suggest the formation of the coupled quantum dots in carbon nanotubes. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
