Abstract

Nanotubes in strong perpendicular magnetic fields are considered and predicted to exhibit chiral spin currents. At a certain filling the current flows only at the sides of the tube, giving rise to the integer quantum Hall effect and magnetoconductance oscillations with a period corresponding to the Aharonov-Bohm flux through the longitudinal cross section of the tube.
