We compare the behavior of bond lengths, cross sectional shape and bulk modulus in equilibrium structure at ambient conditions and under hydrostatic pressure of all the three kinds of uncapped single walled carbon nanotubes. Results of our…

Based on the helical and rotational symmetries and Tersoff-Brenner potential with couple of modified parameters, we investigate the variation of bond length/lengths in equilibrium structure due to tube length as well as due to applied…

We investigate the structural parameters, i.e. bond lengths and bond angles of chiral tubes of various chiralities. The procedure used is based on helical and rotational symmetries and Tersoff potential. The results indicate that at ambient…

Results of the bond lengths for various chiralities of single-wall carbon carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) (armchair, zigzag and chiral) are obtained. We use modified helical and rotational symmetries to describe the structure of SWNTs and Tersoff…

We systematically investigate the relationships between structural and electronic effects of finite size zigzag or armchair carbon nanotubes of various diameters and lengths, starting from a molecular template of varying shape and diameter,…

The importance of finite-size effects for the electronic structure of long zigzag and armchair carbon nanotubes is studied. We analyze the electronic structure of capped (6,6), (8,0), and (9,0) single walled carbon nanotubes as a function…

We performed first principles calculations on work functions of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), which can be divided into two classes according to tube diameter (D). For class I tubes (D > 1 nm), work functions lie within a narrow…

The electronic structure of finite-length armchair carbon nanotubes has been studied using several ab-initio and semi-empirical quantum computational techniques. The additional confinement of the electrons along the tube axis leads to the…

We present an overview of strong correlations in single-wall carbon nanotubes, and an introduction to the techniques used to study them theoretically. We concentrate on zigzag nanotubes, although universality dictates that much ofthe theory…

Single walled carbon nanotube's cross section can be flattened under hydrostatic pressure. One example is the cross section of a single walled carbon nanotube successively deforms from the original round shape to oval shape, then to…

We investigated the adsorption of a single atom, hydrogen and aluminum, on single wall carbon nanotubes from first-principles. The adsorption is exothermic, and the associated binding energy varies inversely as the radius of the zigzag…

We show that the electronic and atomic structure of carbon nanotubes undergo dramatic changes with hydrogen chemisorption from first principle calculations. Upon uniform exohydrogenation at half coverage, the cross sections of zigzag…
