Volume 89, Issue 13

Visualization of an electronic 'tubular image state' around a nanotube. The electron's attraction to its image charge combines with the centrifugal-barrier repulsion to localize it far from the nanotube, while defects in the tube could localize it as well in the longitudinal direction, as depicted. [Brian E. Granger, Petr Král, H. R. Sadeghpour, and Moshe Shapiro, Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 135506 (2002)]
