Carbon nanotubes in almost homogeneous transverse magnetic field:
exactly solvable model
   [PDF]

Vit Jakubsky, Sengul Kuru, Javier Negro
Single-wall carbon nanotubes are considered in the presence of an external magnetic field with inhomogeneous transverse component. The continuum model is employed where the dynamics of the charge carriers is governed by the Dirac-Weyl equation. It is shown that a small fluctuation of the transverse field around a constant value represented by a finite-gap vector potential provides exact solutions of the stationary equation. An example is elaborated in detail. The spectrum of the system manifests remarkable stability with respect to small perturbations of the longitudinal momentum. Nonlinear, N=2 supersymmetry associated with the metallic and the maximally semi-conducting nanotubes is discussed.
