among the low–dimensional allotropes of carbon, nanotubes and graphene have attracted very much attention from nano–science and nanotechnology specialists. they have been proposed as building blocks in nanometer device engineering. however, these structures are not defect–free. in this thesis, we focused on defective carbon nanotubes and graphene, and studied the effect of couple of very common...

nanotechnology is a general term which is related with field of all advanced science term that generally predicates with all modern technologies which consider nanoscales. improvement in the quality of products by adding some nanoparticles and study of their behavior in the presence of these nanoparticles have been obtained in many researches. on the other hand numerous demands for sowing ...
