We analyze a recent NMR experiments by Singer et al. [Singer et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 95 , 236403 (2005).], which showed a deviation fromFermi‐liquid behavior in carbon nanotubes with an energy gap evident at low temperatures. A comprehensive theory for the magnetic field and temperature dependent NMR 13 C spin‐lattice relaxation is given in the framework of the Luther‐Emery and Luttinger liquids. The low temperature properties are governed by a gapped relaxation due to a spin gap (∼ 30 K), described by the Luther‐Emery liquid picture, which crosses over smoothly to the Luttinger liquid behaviour with increasing temperature.
