Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

Electron states in the conduction band of carbon nanotubes are studied in the presence of a constant magnetic field perpendicular to the tube axis within the framework of Hubbard's model. Numerical solutions describing electron density waves corresponding to soliton lattices are obtained. The possibility of control over the electron lattice parameters with the help of a constant magnetic field is established.
