Boron and Nitrogen Doped Single walled Carbon Nanotubes as Possible Dilute Magnetic Semiconductors
نویسنده
چکیده
The structure of single walled armchair and zig-zag carbon nanotubes having 70 atoms and two carbons replaced by boron or nitrogen is obtained at minium energy using HF/6-31G* molecular orbital theory. The calculations show that the ground state of the zig-zag tubes is a triplet state while for the armchair tubes it is a singlet. In the zig-zag tubes the density of states at the Fermi level is greater for the spin down states compared to the spin up state indicating that the doped tubes could be ferromagnetic.

متن کاملElectronic structures of boron-doped single-walled carbon nanotube
Since the discovery of the superconductivity in boron-doped diamond [1], the carrier doping, especially boron doping in carbon materials attracts much attentions. For the carbon nanotube, however, the effect of boron doping as well as the possibility of the superconductivity [2] have not been well understood yet. Thus, we systematically study the boron-doped single-walled zigzag carbon nanotube...
متن کاملNitrogen doping of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes:n-type conduction and dipole scattering
The charge transport properties of individual, metallic nitrogen doped, single-walled carbon nanotubes are investigated. It is demonstrated that n-type conduction can be achieved by nitrogen doping. Evidence was obtained by appealing to electric-field effect measurements at ambient condition. n-type conduction is attributed to the presence of graphite-type nitrogen. The observed temperature dep...
