Structural and electronic properties of pentagon-heptagon pair defects in carbon nanotubes

Charlier, J.-C., Ebbesen, T. W., Lambin, Ph.·1996·Physical Review B

Abstract

General features of the energetics and electronic states of carbon nanotubes, containing pentagon-heptagon pair (5/7) topological defects in the hexagonal network of the zigzag configuration, are investigated within simple tight-binding models. This 5/7 pair defect on the nanotube structure is not only responsible for a change in nanotube diameter, but also governs the electronic behavior around the Fermi level. Furthermore, nanotubes having different helicities and different electronic properties can be connected using such a pair. Various configurations including one, two, and three 5/7 pairs are explored in order to understand the influence of several defects on the electronic properties of the system. Topological aspects associated with the presence of 5/7 pair defects in armchair and chiral nanotubes are also discussed. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
