Defects, Quasibound States, and Quantum Conductance in Metallic Carbon Nanotubes

Choi, Hyoung Joon, Ihm, Jisoon, Louie, Steven G., Cohen, Marvin L.·2000·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

The effects of impurities and local structural defects on the conductance of metallic carbon nanotubes are calculated using an ab initio pseudopotential method within the Landauer formalism. Substitutionally doped boron or nitrogen produces quasibound impurity states of a definite parity and reduces the conductance by a quantum unit (2e(2)/h) via resonant backscattering. These resonant states show strong similarity to acceptor or donor states in semiconductors. The Stone-Wales defect also produces quasibound states and exhibits quantized conductance reduction. In the case of a vacancy, the conductance shows a much more complex behavior than the prediction from the widely used pi-electron tight-binding model.

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.
