We propose an ab-initio combination of the Linear Muffin-Tin Orbital and the Recursion Methods to study the effect of extended Stone-Wales defects in single layer Carbon nanotubes. We have successfully applied this to zigzag and armchair…

Geometric optimization and electronic properties of Stone-Wales defective antimonene nanotubes are calculated by the method of first -principle calculations based on density functional theory. Various nanotubes are investigated according to…

Recently experiments showed that nodal structural defects are readily formed in the synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and consequently, SWNTs are likely to deviate from well-defined seamless tubular structures. Here, using…

It has been shown that the two different orientations of Stone-Wales (SW) defects, i.e. longitudinal and circumferential SW defects, on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) result in two different electronic structures. Based on density functional…

By applying tight binding model, we investigate the electronic and transport properties of randomly distributed Stone-Wales (SW) defects on an armchair graphene nanoribbon (AGNR). We use four different functions, as distribution functions,…

The mechanical properties of the so-called `super' carbon nanotubes (STs) are investigated using classical molecular dynamics simulations. The STs are built from single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) connected by Y-like junctions forming…

Point defects, including atom vacancy, add atom and Stone-Wale defect, close to a (5, 5) single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) end were studied by DFT, semi-empirical PM3 method and empirical Brenner Potential. It is found that closer to the…

Brittle fracture is one of the important failure modes of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWNT) due to mechanical loading. In this paper, the fracture resistance of zigzag SWNTs with preexisting defects is calculated using fracture mechanics…

Carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs) are gaining the attention of the researchers because of their demand in space and automobile industries for having low weight and high mechanical properties. Iron is the most…
