-->Recent
transport experiments in a semi-suspended carbon nanotube (CNT)
quantum dot have shown an electron-vibration coupling that is
markedly different for spin singlet and triplet states. In this
contribution, we show that such an apparent spin-vibration coupling
can be understood in terms of a coupling of the electronic valley
degree of freedom of the CNT to the observed longitudinal vibration.
Strikingly, this Peierls type coupling in the valley space leads to
Franck-Condon sidebands that mostly develop for the triplet excited
state. A vibrational modulation of the exchange interaction on the
CNT is shown to result in a similar, but weaker effect. The effect
can be understood qualitatively from polaronic shifts obtained in the
Born-Oppenheimer approximation. In the regimes of interest, however,
this approximation breaks down and we present transport calculations
accounting for the full pseudo-Jahn-Teller mixing of the vibronic
states that show satisfactory agreement with the experiment.
