Abstract
We have investigated the electronic structures of metallic carbon nanotube quantum dots (CNT QDs) by terahertz-induced photocurrent spectroscopy. Sharp peaks due to intersublevel transitions in the CNT QDs are observed at the sublevel energy spacings expected from the linear band dispersion. The line width of the photocurrent peak is as narrow as 0.3 meV and is governed by the tunnel coupling with the electrodes, indicating that the scattering time of electrons in the present CNTs is comparable to or longer than 10 ps. The observation of a sharp absorption peak at the bare quantization energy was not consistent with the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid theory.
