AbstractAnalytical derivation of electronic band gap of Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) under a small percent of uniaxial and torsional strains is in this paper. Our approach is based on a kind of π-Tight Binding (π-TB) approximation which includes interactions of the second and the third neighbors of each carbon atom in addition to the nearest ones. Implementing the approach of this paper, yields more precise results than those of other researches.

We show that the intercalating of alkali atoms with adequate concentration can transform a metallic single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) into a semiconductor tube or a semiconductor SWCNT into a semiconductor tube with different band gaps due to a unique feature of the band structures in SWCNTs. Results of Li2C60 in the (5,0) tube, Li2C112 in the (4,2) tube and K2C112 in the (7,0) tube show that this transition mechanism is quite general.
