چکیده

Starting with a finite k-mesh version of a well-known equation by Blount, we show how various definitions proposed for the polarization of long chains are related. Expressions used for infinite periodic chains in the ’modern theory of polarization’ are thereby obtained along with a new single particle formulation. Separate intracellular and intercellular contributions to the polarization are identified and, in application to infinite chains, the traditional sawtooth definition is found to be missing the latter. For a finite open chain the dipole moment depends upon how the chain is terminated, but the intracellular and intercellular polarization do not. All of these results are illustrated through calculations with a simple Hückel-like model.

Spin-dependent electronic structure of transition-metal atomic chains adsorbed on single-wall carbon nanotubes

We present a systematic study of the electronic and magnetic properties of transition-metal TM atomic chains adsorbed on the zigzag single-wall carbon nanotubes SWNTs . We considered the adsorption on the external and internal wall of SWNT and examined the effect of the TM coverage and geometry on the binding energy and the spin polarization at the Fermi level. All those adsorbed chains studied...
