Abstract
The level spectrum of a single-walled carbon nanotube rope, studied by transport spectroscopy, shows Zeeman splitting in a magnetic field pa rallel to the tube axis. The pattern of splittings implies that the sp in of the ground state alternates by 1/2 as consecutive electrons are added. Other aspects of the Coulomb blockade characteristics, includin g the current-voltage traces and peak heights, also show corresponding even-odd effects.
