Generating and detecting radiation in the technologically relevant range of the so-called terahertz gap (0.1–10 THz) is challenging because of a lack of efficient sources and detectors. Quantum dots in carbon nanotubes have shown great potential to build sensitive terahertz detectors, usually based on photon-assisted tunneling. A recently reported mechanism combining resonant quantum dot transitions and tunneling barrier asymmetries results in a narrow linewidth photocurrent response with a large signal-to-noise ratio under weak THz radiation. That device was sensitive to one frequency, corresponding to transitions between equidistant quantized states. In this work we show, using numerical simulations together with scanning tunneling spectroscopy studies of a defect-induced metallic zigzag single-walled carbon nanotube quantum dot, that breaking simultaneously various symmetries in metallic nanotube quantum dots of arbitrary chirality strongly relaxes the selection rules in the electric dipole approximation and removes energy degeneracies. This leads to a richer set of allowed optical transitions spanning frequencies from 1 THz to several tens of THz, for a ∼10 nm quantum dot. Based on these findings, we propose a terahertz detector device based on a metallic single-walled carbon nanotube quantum dot defined by artificial defects. Depending on its length and contacts transparency, the operating regimes range from a high-resolution gate-tunable terahertz sensor to a broadband terahertz detector. Our calculations indicate that the device is largely unaffected by temperatures up to 100 K, making carbon nanotube quantum dots with broken symmetries a promising platform to design tunable terahertz detectors that could operate at liquid nitrogen temperatures.

The spin-orbit coupling in nanotubes results in energy splitting of meV; thus, it can be neglected at the energy scales discussed here.

The eigenstates of a finite CNT must be standing waves only in the direction parallel to the axis. They may remain traveling waves in the transverse direction. In zigzag class CNTs, they are formed by the left- and right-moving states from the same valley.

In the GF method, in order to get a smooth LDOS on the surface of the carbon nanotube and account for the finite size of the STM tip, we have performed a convolution of the LDOS with a function of the form , where r is the distance of a fictitious tip of a STM from the carbon atom at x, and λ is an opportune constant.120

We note in passing that the defect types and their positions on the lattice could be determined from the absorption spectrum in combination with first-principle simulations,49 especially for the case of achiral metallic SWNTs (zigzag and/or armchair) with computationally tractable small unit cells.
