Walled Carbon Nanotubes

The electronic band structure variations of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) using Huckle/tight binding approximation theory are studied. According to the chirality indices, the related expressions for energy dispersion variations of these elements are derived and plotted for zigzag and chiral nanotubes.

Structure Of Carbon Nanotubes

In this paper, we fully describe the geometry of atomic structure of carbon nanotube with quinoid structure. Electronic energy band structure of carbon nanotubes with quinoid structure is studied by tight-binding approximation. In the presence of bond alternation, calculations show that only armchair (n, n) carbon nanotube (without twisting) remains metallic and zigzag (3ν - 1, -3ν + 1) CNT becomes metallic at the critical elongation. Effect of deformation on the change of band gap is also calculated and discussed.

Tight Binding Method

We studied the electronic band structure and corresponding local density of states of low-index fcc Ag surfaces (100), (110), and (111) by using the empirical tight-binding method in the framework of the Surface Green’s Function Matching formalism. The energy values for different surface and resonance states are reported and a comparison with the available experimental and theoretical data is also done.

Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Complex three-point junctions of single-walled carbon nanotubes are proposed as building blocks of nanoscale electronic devices. Both T- and Y-junctions, made up of tubes with differing diameters and chiralities, are studied as prototypes. All the proposed complex junctions have been found to be local minima of the total energy on relaxation with a generalized tight-binding molecular dynamics scheme.
