Geometrical structure effect on localization length of carbon nanotubes

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2015-06-24 v2 Materials Science

Abstract

The localization length and density of states of carbon nanotubes are evaluated within the tight-binding approximation. By comparison with the corresponding results for the square lattice tubes, it is found that the hexagonal structure affects strongly the behaviors of the density of states and localization lengths of carbon nanotubes.
