Abstract

The formation of spin levels upon torsional deformation of nonchiral (n, n) carbon nanotubes has been theoretically studied. In the absence of mechanical deformation, nanotubes have inversion symmetry and a metallic band structure with a spin-degenerate state near the Fermi level. The twisting deformation breaks the inversion symmetry, so that the tube becomes chiral. As a result, due to the Rashba effect, the degeneracy of the levels is completely lifted and spin gaps are formed between the bands of predominantly α and β types.
