Electronic structure of helically coiled carbon nanotubes
Keyword(s):
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.
