We use a spin-polarized tight-binding model Hamiltonian and the Landauer
transport formalism to investigate the electronic transport properties
of carbon nanotubes where different types of holes have been drilled
through their sidewalls. We focus on zigzag edged defects with different
atomic configurations since these systems enable the emergence of
magnetic properties. We show that a number of hole geometries, magnetic
states, and electronic spins yield attractive transport properties, such
as ON/OFF switching for the electronic current, and nontrivial
dependence of transmission with hole size.
