Zigzag carbon nanotubes with generic electron-electron interactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Hamiltonian is derived for a zigzag carbon nanotube with an arbitrary number of weak electron-electron charge and spin interactions, which become significant in ultraclean systems. The renormalization group and bosonization are used to determine the ground-state phase diagram. Our phase diagram contains some exotic phases which have not previously been predicted in carbon nanotubes with physically possible interaction profiles. Phases of the undoped case include Mott insulators and a variety of density wave states. In the doped case a Tomanaga-Luttinger liquid is possible.

A C102H30 graphene sheet has been rolled up to construct Single-Walled Carbon NanoTube Fragments (SWCNTFs) as parts of armchair carbon nanotubes by computational quantum chemistry methods. Non-covalent cation-π interactions of the Na+ cation on the central rings of SWCNTFs have investigated. The binding energies of the Na+-SWCNTF complexes versus ...
متن کاملA computational investigation on NMR Characterization and electronic properties of some zigzag nanotubes
DFT calculations were applied to evaluate the electronic and magnetic properties of zigzag BC2Nnanotubes based on the 13C, 15N, and 11B NMR parameters and natural charge analysis. Weconsidered three types of zigzag nanotubes, ZZ-1, ZZ-2, and ZZ-3 (n, 0) with n = 8, 12, and 14. Theobtained results indicated the divisions of the electrostatic environments around C nuclei into a fewlayers, consist...

The extinction and orientational dependence of electron diffraction from single-walled carbon nanotubes have been observed experimentally and investigated in detail theoretically using both algebraic analysis and numerical simulations. Electron diffraction from only achiral carbon nanotubes of zigzag or armchair structure shows observable orientational dependence and extinction of certain layer...
متن کاملThe transport properties of silicon and carbon nanotubes at the atomic scale: a first-principles study.
Nanotubes are one of the most promising functional materials in nanotechnology. Silicon nanotubes (SiNTs) have been experimentally validated; they are unique puckered nanotubular structures unlike carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Although the electronic and optical properties of SiNTs have been previously studied, their structure-related capability for electron transport has not been investigated. Here...
متن کاملCommentary: Carbon nanotubes, CdSe nanocrystals, and electron-electron interaction.
To celebrate the tenth anniversary of Nano Letters, this short commentary discusses a scientific issue of current interest, increased electron-electron interactions in nanostructures. The two major factors of reduced dimensionality and low screening are analyzed. Carbon nanotubes and graphene are molecular in many of their properties and show strong electron-electron interactions. In specific c...
