Electronic transport through a single-wall carbon nanotube with a magnetic impurity

We are interested in studying the transport properties of metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with isolated magnetic impurities. We consider a metallic zigzag SWCNT in the form of an infinitely long cylinder of diameter D, connected by two metallic electrodes under a bias voltage $E$, with a magnetic impurity located on its surface. To describe the Kondo resonance we employ an impurity version of the atomic model, previously developed to study the Kondo insulator properties in the lattice case. We calculate the approximate Green's functions of the impurity Anderson model by employin...
