Possibility for exciton Bose-Einstein condensation in carbon nanotubes    [PDF]

I. V. Bondarev, A. V. Meliksetyan

We demonstrate the possibility of exciton Bose-Einstein condensation in individual small-diameter (~1-2 nm) semiconducting carbon nanotubes. The effect occurs under the exciton-interband-plasmon coupling controlled by an external electrostatic field applied perpendicular to the nanotube axis. It requires fields ~1 V/nm and temperatures below 100 K that are experimentally accessible.
