Nonlinear magnetotransport in interacting chiral nanotubes

Nonlinear transport through interacting single-wall nanotubes containing a few impurities is studied theoretically. Extending the Luttinger liquid theory to incorporate trigonal warping and chirality effects, we derive the current contribution I(e) even in the applied voltage V and odd in an orbital magnetic field B, which is nonzero only for chiral tubes and in the presence of interactions.
