Recent NMR experiments by Singer et al. [Singer et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 236403 (2005).] showed a deviation from Fermi-liquid behavior in carbon nanotubes with an energy gap evident at low temperatures. Here, a comprehensive theory for the magnetic field and temperature dependent NMR 13C spin-lattice relaxation is given in the framework of the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid. The low temperature properties are governed by a gapped relaxation due to a spin gap (~ 30K), which crosses over smoothly to the Luttinger liquid behaviour with increasing temperature.

We report 13C nuclear magnetic resonance measurements on single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) bundles. The temperature dependence of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate, 1/T1, exhibits a power-law variation, as expected for a Tomonage-Luttinger l iquid (TLL). The observed exponent is smaller than that expected for the two band TLL model. A departure from the power law is observed only at low T, where thermal and electronic Zeeman energy merge. Extrapolation to zero magnetic field indicates gapless spin excitations. The wide T range on which power-law behavior is observed suggests that SWCNT is so far the best realization of a one-dimensional quantum metal.

The low-energy theory for multi-wall carbon nanotubes including the long-ranged Coulomb interactions, internal screening effects, and single-electron hopping between graphite shells is derived and analyzed by bosonization methods. Characteristic Lutt inger liquid power laws are found for the tunneling density of states, with exponents approaching their Fermi liquid value only very slowly as the number of conducting shells increases. With minor modifications, the same conclusions apply to transport in ropes of single-wall nanotubes.

Transport properties of metallic single-wall nanotubes are examined based on the Luttinger liquid theory. Focusing on a nanotube transistor setup, the linear conductance is computed from the Kubo formula using perturbation theory in the lead-tube tun nel conductances. For sufficiently long nanotubes and high temperature, phonon backscattering should lead to an anomalous temperature dependence of the resistivity.

Recent transport measurements [Churchill textit{et al.} Nat. Phys. textbf{5}, 321 (2009)] found a surprisingly large, 2-3 orders of magnitude larger than usual $^{13}$C hyperfine coupling (HFC) in $^{13}$C enriched single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT s). We formulate the theory of the nuclear relaxation time in the framework of the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid theory to enable the determination of the HFC from recent data by Ihara textit{et al.} [Ihara textit{et al.} EPL textbf{90}, 17004 (2010)]. Though we find that $1/T_1$ is orders of magnitude enhanced with respect to a Fermi-liquid behavior, the HFC has its usual, small value. Then, we reexamine the theoretical description used to extract the HFC from transport experiments and show that similar features could be obtained with HFC-independent system parameters.

An interacting one-dimensional (1D) electron system is predicted to behave very differently than its higher-dimensional counterparts. Coulomb interactions strongly modify the properties away from those of a Fermi liquid, resulting in a Luttinger liqu id (LL) characterized by a power-law vanishing of the density of states at the Fermi level. Experiments on one-dimensional semiconductor wires and fractional quantum Hall conductors have been interpreted using this picture, but questions remain about the connection between theory and experiment. Recently, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have emerged as a new type of 1D conductor that may exhibit LL behavior. Here we present measurements of the conductance of individual ropes of such SWNTs as a function of temperature and voltage. Power law behavior as a function of temperature or bias voltage is observed: G~ T^a and dI/dV ~ V^a. Both the power-law functional forms and the inferred exponents are in good agreement with theoretical predictions for tunneling into a LL.
