We report conductance measurements for large diameter (30 - 40
nm)
individual multiwall carbon nanotubes in magnetic fields both
parallel
and perpendicular to the tube axis. A prestructured Al backgate
allows a substantial shift of the Fermi level.
The thin native oxide on the Al films provides a very efficient
electrostatic coupling between the gate and the tube.
The conductance of the nanotube was recorded as a function of
the
magnetic field B and
the gate voltage U. For parallel fields, both h/e- and
h/2e-periodic oscillations in the
magnetoconductance occur and lead to rhomb-shaped regions of low
conductance in the B-U-plane . In the perpendicular case, a
region of low conductance
forms at small gate voltges, which grows with increasing
magnetic
field.
The experimental observations are explained well by tight-
binding
bandstructure calculations for the outermost shell of a
multiwall nanotube in a magnetic field.
