intertube distance: 3.39 Å, closed to interlayer spacing of graphite. Geometric configurations --- Double-walled carbon nanotubes
4
Double-walled armchair carbon nanotubes (5,5)-(10,10) 3 kinds of symmetric structures, due to translation and rotation symmetry 12 atoms in a primitive unit cell: (4 from inner tube) (8 from outer tube)
5
the tight-binding model
6
Intratube & intertube interactions V ppπ =-2.66 eV (γ 0 ) V ppσ =6.38 eV
7
Band structures without intertube interaction: symmetric about E F, and E F =0 linear bands intersecting at E F =0, so metallic parabolic band with double degenercy
8
Band structures with intertube interaction: breaks symmetry of band structures changes energy dispersion localization of wavefunction: △ : inner tube ○ : outer tube
9
Density of states linear bands →pleataues parabolic bands →square-root divergences several low-energy divergences in S 5 system
10
Magnetoelectronic properties J → J+ ψ / ψ 0 shift angular momentum
11
Band structures linear band → parabolic band, form energy spacing. induce energy gap break state degenercy. (0.04 ψ 0 ~ 114 Tesla)
12
Density of states linear band to parabolic band → pleataue to divergence break degenercy → more divergences
13
ψ -dependent energy gap magnetic flux induces energy gap intertube interactions & spin-B interactions reduces energy gap

Intertube Coulomb interactions: Random-Phase Approximation (RPA)
19
Loss function Intertube interactions enrich electron-hole excitations, thus reduce plasmon intensity Plasmons appears at certain q region
20
Loss function Plasmon frequencies almost unchanged by the magnetic flux Plasmon intensity reduced by the magnetic flux
21
q-dependent plasmon frequencies more plasmon modes acoustic plasmons to optical plasmons

4. Conclusion The intertube interactions alter the low energy bands, enrich the low-frequency single-particle excitations. The main features of the low-frequency plasmons are dominated by the momentum transfer q, the intertube interactions and the symmetric geometry. Double-walled geometry could be determined by the electron- energy loss spectroscopy (EELS).
