Stone-Wales transformation is a key mechanism responsible for growth, transformation, and fusion in fullerene, carbon nanotube and other carbon nanostructures. These topological defects also substantially alter the physical and chemical…
The mechanisms of formation of a metastable defect isomer of fullerene C60 due to the Stone-Wales transformation are theoretically studied. It is demonstrated that the paths of the "dynamic" Stone-Wales transformation at a high sufficient…
Using density functional theory, we study physical properties of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) with the substitutional carbon pair defect. We also consider the Stone-Wales (SW) rearrangement of the C-C pair defect in the BNNT. The…
We examine effects of encapsulated metal atoms inside a C$_{60}$ molecule on the activation energy barrier to the Stone-Wales transformation using {\it ab initio} calculations. The encapsulated metal atoms we study are K, Ca and La which…
Fullerene coalescence experimentally found in fullerene-embedded single-wall nanotubes under electron-beam irradiation or heat treatment is simulated by minimizing the classical action for many atom systems. The dynamical trajectory for…
During the synthesis of ultra-thin materials with hexagonal lattice structure Stone-Wales (SW) type of defects are quite likely to be formed and the existence of such topological defects in the graphene-like structures results in dramatical…
The Stone-Wales defect is a well-known and significant defective structure in carbon materials, impacting their mechanical, chemical, and electronic properties. Recently, a novel metal-carbon nanomaterial named Volleyballene has been…
Topological Stone-Wales defect in carbon nanotubes plays a central role in plastic deformation, chemical functionalization, and superstructure formation. Here, we systematically investigate the formation kinetics of such defects within…

Nitrogen doping in graphene has important implications in graphene-based devices and catalysts. We have performed the density functional theory calculations to study the electronic structures of N-doped graphene with vacancies and…
Observations of topological defects associated with Stone-Wales-type transformations (i.e., bond rotations) in high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images of carbon nanostructures are at odds with the equilibrium…
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…
Topological defects in ultrathin layers are often formed during synthesis and processing, thereby, strongly influencing their electronic properties . In this paper, we investigate the role of Stone-Wales (SW) defects in modifying the…
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…
Optical properties of fullerite C$_{60}$ single crystals saturated with hydrogen and nitrogen molecules were studied in the temperature range from 20 K to 230 K using the spectral-luminescent method. Saturation was carried out under a…
By employing the state-of-the-art density functional theory, we report the hydrogen storage capability of yttrium decorated C$_{24}$ fullerene. Single Y atom attached on C$_{24}$ fullerene can reversibly adsorb a maximum number of 6 H$_2$…
Endohedrally doped Si20 fullerenes appear as appealing building blocks for nanoscale materials. We investigate their structural stability with an unbiased and systematic global geometry optimization method within density-functional theory.…
While CNTs are found to have ultra high stiffness and strength, an enormous scatter is also observed in available laboratory results. This paper studies the effects of randomly distributed Stone Wales (SW or 5 7 7 5) defects on the…
We have combined ab initio molecular dynamics with the intrinsic reaction coordinate in order to investigate the mechanisms of stability and pyrolysis of N$_{4}$-- N$_{120}$ fullerene-like nitrogen cages. The stability of the cages was…
