Electron–phonon mechanism of conduction in magnetized nanotubes

• The electron–phonon interaction and the conductivity of nanotube were both studied.
• We analyzed the conductivity of nanotube in a longitudinal magnetic field.
• Mechanisms of electron scattering and the phonon confinement effect were discovered.
• Connection of conductivity and nanotube parameters and temperature were researched.
• We compare the results obtained for the longitudinal and flexural phonons.

Analysis of the contribution of electron scattering on phonons, longitudinal and flexural resistance in the nanotube in a longitudinal magnetic field has been carried out quantitatively. The dependence of the conductance of the nanostructure on the nanotube radius, surface electron density, temperature, and Aharonov–Bohm parameter in the case of an isotropic phonon spectrum and taking into account the effects of phonons confinement has been studied.
