Non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) simulation of metallic carbon nanotubes including vacancy defects
The electronic behavior of metallic carbon nanotubes under the influence of externally applied electric fields is investigated using the Non-Equilibrium Green’s function method self consistently coupled with three-dimensional (3D) electrostatics. A nearest neighbor tight binding model based on a single pz orbital for constructing the device Hamiltonian is used. The 3D Poisson equation is solved...
متن کاملMechanical behaviors of carbon nanotubes with randomly located vacancy defects.
In this paper, (10, 0) zigzag nanotubes and (6, 6) armchair nanotubes are considered to investigate the effects of randomly distributed vacancy defects on mechanical behaviors of single-walled carbon nanotubes. A spatial Poisson point process is employed to randomly locate vacancy defects on nanotubes. Atomistic simulations indicate that the presence of vacancy defects result in reducing nanotu...
متن کاملInfluence of vacancies on metallic nanotube transport properties
The electronic behavior of metallic carbon nanotubes under the influence of atomistic vacancy defects present in the channel is theoretically investigated using non-equilibrium Green’s function method self-consistently coupled with three-dimensional electrostatics. A nearest neighbor tight binding model based on a single pz orbital is used for the device Hamiltonian. A single vacancy defect in ...
متن کاملDefects in carbon nanotubes.
Carbon nanotubes are quasi one-dimensional nanostructures with unique eletrical prroperties that make them prime candidates for molecular electronics, which is certainly a most promising direction in nanotechnology. Early theoretical works predicted that the electronic properties of "ideal" carbon nanotubes depend on their diameter and chirality. However, carbon nanotubes are probably not as pe...
متن کاملSpectroscopic signatures of topological and diatom-vacancy defects in single-walled carbon nanotubes.
The optical properties, including UV-vis spectra and resonance Raman profiles, of pristine and defected single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are computed using state-of-the-art time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) as implemented using the Liouville-Lanczos approach to linear-response TDDFT. The CNT defects were of the form of Stone-Wales and diatom-vacancies. Our results are in v...
