摘要
In magnetoresistance measurements of a single multiwall carbon nanotube we have observed the periodic oscillation which increases in amplitude below 30 K. The period has the angular dependence of 1/cos theta, theta being the angle between the nanotube axis and magnetic field, and it corresponds to the field that the magnetic flux penetrating a nanotube equals one-third of a Bur quanta, h/3e. The observation is explained in terms of the Aharonov-Bohm effect for three coexisting nanotubes with different chiralities. [S0163-1829(99)12643-2].
