Structure Of Carbon Nanotubes

In this paper, we fully describe the geometry of atomic structure of carbon nanotube with quinoid structure. Electronic energy band structure of carbon nanotubes with quinoid structure is studied by tight-binding approximation. In the presence of bond alternation, calculations show that only armchair (n, n) carbon nanotube (without twisting) remains metallic and zigzag (3ν - 1, -3ν + 1) CNT becomes metallic at the critical elongation. Effect of deformation on the change of band gap is also calculated and discussed.

Effective Mass Approach

AbstractIn the present work we calculate the electronic band structure of single-wall helical carbon nanotubes following an effective-mass approach. We include curvature effects and strain due to bending in the band structure. The curvature energy ΔE, and the change in the electronic energy ΔEs due to strain, depend upon the coil pitch and coil diameter of the tube. We find 0.003 ≤|ΔE|≤ 1.3 eV and 0 ≤ΔEs ≤ 4.0 eV for the single-wall helical carbon nanotubes considered here.

The electronic band structure variations of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) using Huckle/tight binding approximation theory are studied. According to the chirality indices, the related expressions for energy dispersion variations of these elements are derived and plotted for zigzag and chiral nanotubes.
