Room temperature active intratube quantum dots in metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes are realized by means of low dose medium energy Ar+ irradiation. With this low invasive method defect-induced confinement regions of the order of, or shorter than, 10 nm are produced which are demonstrated to lead to particle-in-a-box-like states with energy separations up to 200 meV, hardly achievable with nowadays’ lithography processes. Fourier-transform scanning tunneling spectroscopy compared to results of a Fabry-Pérot electron resonator model yields clear signatures for inter- and intra-valley scattering of electrons confined between consecutive defects.
