Supercurrents Through Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
B. Reulet1, A. Yu. Kasumov1,2, R. Deblock1, M. Kociak1, H. Bouchiat1, I. I. Khodos2, Yu. B. Gorbatov2, V. T. Volkov2, C. Journet3, and M. Burghard4Induced superconductivity in single wall carbon nanotubes by proximity effect is observed below 1K, both in single 1 nm diameter single tube and in individual crystalline ropes containing about 100 nanotubes. The samples are suspended between two superconducting electrodes which allows their structural study in a transmission electron microscope. When the resistance of the single wall nanotubes is sufficiently low, they become superconducting and can carry high supercurrents. The temperature and magnetic field dependence of the critical current exhibit unusual features related to the strong 1D character of these samples.
