Anomalous magnetotransport in chemically doped carbon nanotubes

We report on anomalous magnetotransport features in chemically doped, weakly disordered carbon nanotubes. Under the application of a magnetic field parallel to the tube axis, hole conduction is shown to be strongly affected by impurity scattering with short mean free path and negative magnetoresistance, strongly different from electron conduction with much longer mean free path and positive magnetoresistance behavior.
