Curvature-induced metallization of double-walled semiconducting zigzag carbon nanotubes.
We report total-energy electronic-structure calculations that provide energetics and electronic structures of double-walled carbon nanotubes consisting of semiconducting (n,0) nanotubes. We find that optimum spacing between the walls of the nanotubes is slightly larger than the interlayer spacing of the graphite. We also find that the electronic structures of the double-walled nanotubes with th...
متن کاملOrigin of torsion-induced conductance oscillations in carbon nanotubes
We combine electromechanical measurements with ab initio density-functional calculations to settle the controversy about the origin of torsion-induced conductance oscillations in multiwall carbon nanotubes. Contrary to intuition, the observed oscillation period in multiwall tubes exhibits the same inverse-squared diameter dependence as in single-wall tubes with the same diameter. This finding s...

متن کاملDynamic conductance of carbon nanotubes
The dynamic conductance of carbon nanotubes was investigated using the nonequilibrium Green's function formalism within the context of a tight-binding model. Specifically, we have studied the ac response of tubes of different helicities, both with and without defects, and an electronic heterojunction. Because of the induced displacement currents, the dynamic conductance of the nanotubes differs...
متن کاملAdsorption and migration of carbon adatoms on zigzag carbon nanotubes
Using density-functional tight-binding and ab initio methods we study the adsorption and migration of carbon adatoms on surfaces of single-walled zigzag carbon nanotubes. We demonstrate that the adatoms form strong covalent bonds with the nanotubes and that the migration is strongly anisotropic. The adatom adsorption energy and migration barrier depend on the nanotube diameter and chirality. Th...
