Josephson current in carbon nanotube quantum dots

ORAL

Abstract

We study theoretically the Josephson current through a carbon nanotube quantum dot coupled to superconducting leads. Due to the interplay between the curvature-induced spin-orbit effect and external magnetic fields, we find a rich $0-\pi$ phase diagram in various transport regimes ranging from noninteracting to Coulomb Blockade, cotunneling and the Kondo limit.
