We investigate spin-dependent transport in and characterise the structure of individual carbon nanotubes. Low temperature magnetoconductance was found to be also gate-dependent and showed spin-valve effect, Coulomb blockade and spin-1/2 Kondo effect. Furthermore, suspended nanotubes have been investigated with a TEM. In particular, their chiral indices can be identified by means of selected area electron diffraction. The micromagnetic properties of the ferromagnetic PdFe contacts as well as their hysteretic magnetic switching have been studied by means of Lorentz microscopy and SQUID measurements. When performed on the same nanotube, structural characterisation will facilitate the interpretation of the magnetoconductance measurements and allow more direct comparison with theoretical simulations.
