摘要

We investigate the effects of magnetic and electric fields on electron wavefunction interactions in single walled carbon nanotube bundles. The magnetoresistance measurements performed at 4.2 K and the dependence of the data upon the electric field reveal good agreement with weak localization theory. An electrical field conditioned characteristic length is associated to ohmic-non ohmic transition, observed below 85 K, in current voltage characteristics. This length results equal to the average bundles diameter just at T congruent to 85 K, indicating that 2D-3D crossover is responsible for the observed conductance transition.
