We present measurements on gold contacted metallic carbon nanotubes (CNTs) performed in a 3He/4He dilution refrigerator between base temperature (∼ 10 mK) and 5 K. In addition to the electrodes spaced 300-400 nm apart, side gates were implemented 50-150 nm from the CNTs.
IV curves show Coulomb blockade at low voltages which can be lifted by gating. For higher voltages conductance increases nonlinearly and assymmetrically. Transport modifications induced by gate voltage and magnetic field up to 8 T are characterized.
