The Inner Shell Influence on the Electronic Structure of Double‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes

We present STM and STS results obtained for double-walled carbon nanotubes. In the case displayed here, the STS results exhibit the Van Hove singularities corresponding to semi conducting tubes for both the outer and the inner shell and a finite density of states at the Fermi level (EF) is observed for a DWNT. We associate this behavior to the presence of an intershell interaction.
