In this work, we have examined how the multi-vacancy defects induced in the horizontal direction change the energetics and the electronic structure of semiconducting Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs). The electronic structure of…
The band structure and optical dielectric function $\epsilon$ of single-walled zigzag [(3,0),(4,0),(5,0),(6,0),(8,0),(9,0),(12,0),(16,0),(20,0),(24,0)], armchair [(3,3),(4,4),(5,5),(8,8),(12,12),(15,15)], and chiral…
Controlling the bandgap of carbon nanostructures is key to the development and mainstream application of carbon-based nanoelectronic devices. We report density functional theory calculations of the effect of silicon impurities on the…
The properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and graphene can be modified by the presence of covalently bound impurities. Although this can be achieved by introducing chemical additives during synthesis, that often hinders…
The band structure of fully hydrogenated Si nanosheets and nanotubes are elucidated by the use of an empirical tight-binding model. The hydrogenated Si sheet is a semiconductor with indirect band gap of about 2.2 eV. The symmetries of the…
The quasiparticle band structure and optical properties of single-walled zigzag and armchair SiC nanotubes (SiC-NTs) as well as single SiC sheet are investigated by ab initio many-body calculations using the GW and the GW plus…
Band gap modification for small-diameter (1 nm) silicon nanowires resulting from the use of different species for surface termination is investigated by density functional theory calculations. Because of quantum confinement, small-diameter…
We have studied the electronic structure and charge-carrier dynamics of individual single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and nanotube ropes using optical and electron-spectroscopic techniques. The electronic structure of semiconducting SWNTs…
Ultra long linear carbon chains of more than 6000 carbon atoms have recently been synthesized within double-walled carbon nanotubes, and they show a promising new route to one--atom--wide semiconductors with a direct band gap. Theoretical…
Despite many theoretical schemes, the direct experimental observation of supramolecular control on band gap opening in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) is still lacking. We report experimental and theoretical demonstration of metal to…
Usually, in optical spectra of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) weak van der Waals coupling between the layers leads only to a small shift of transition energies with respect to their values in pristine single-walled nanotubes.…
The band gap of a semiconducting single wall carbon nanotube decreases and eventually vanishes leading to metalization as a result of increasing radial deformation. This sets in a band offset between the undeformed and deformed regions of a…
The measurement of the bandgap in quasi-one dimensional materials such as carbon nanotubes is challenging due to its dimensionality. In this work, we measure the electronic bandgap of networks of polymer-wrapped semiconducting single-walled…
The topological phase transition is theoretically studied in a metallic single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) by applying a magnetic field $B$ parallel to the tube. The $\mathbb{Z}$ topological invariant, winding number, is changed…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a promising material for high-performance electronics beyond silicon. But unlike silicon, the nature of the transport band gap in CNTs is not fully understood. The transport gap in CNTs is predicted to be…
We present wide-range (3 meV - 6 eV) optical studies on freestanding transparent carbon nanotube films, made from nanotubes with different diameter distributions. In the far-infrared region, we found a low-energy gap in all samples…
We present {\it ab initio} and self-consistent tight-binding calculations on the band structure of single wall semiconducting carbon nanotubes with high degrees (up to 25 %) of boron substitution. Besides a lowering of the Fermi energy into…
Renormalization of quasiparticles and excitons in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) near a metallic surface has been studied within a many-body formalism using an embedding approach newly implemented in the GW and Bethe-Salpeter methods. The…
A simple method to calculate the static electric polarization of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) is obtained within the second-order perturbation approximation. The results are in agreement with the previous calculation within the…
Primary metallic, or small gap semiconducting nanotubes, are tubes with band gaps that arise solely from breaking the bond symmetry due to the curvature. We derive an analytic expression for these gaps by considering how a general symmetry…
