Abstract

We have investigated the thermoelectric power (TEP) of millimeter-long aligned multiwall carbon nanotubes down to a temperature of T=1.5 K, and observed for the first time an accurate T ln T dependence at low temperatures. This behavior is possibly originated from the repulsive interaction between the electrons in a disordered local environment.
