半金属锯齿形碳纳米管点

Half-metallic zigzag carbon nanotube dots

Oded Hod, Gustavo E. Scuseria

摘要:

采用第一性原理对锯齿形碳纳米管的电子性质和半金属性质进行了全面的理论研究。与以往的报道不同,我们发现,所有的纳米管研究提出了一个自旋极化的基态,相反的自旋是本地化的两个锯齿形的边缘在一个远程antiferomagnetic配置。不同自旋状态的相对稳定性分析表明,对于较短的链段,即使在室温下也应该存在自旋有序。发现有限体系的最高占据和最低未占据分子轨道之间的能隙与纳米管段的长度成反比,从而提出了控制其电子性质的途径。与锯齿形石墨烯纳米带的情况类似,在外部轴向电场的影响下获得半金属行为。

英文摘要:

A comprehensive first-principles theoretical study of the electronic properties and half-metallic nature of finite zigzag carbon nanotubes is presented. Unlike previous reports, we find that all nanotubes studied present a spin-polarized ground state, where opposite spins are localized at the two zigzag edges in a long-range antifferomagnetic configuration. Relative stability analysis of the different spin states indicate that, for the shorter segments, spin-ordering should be present even at room temperature. The energy gap between the highest occupied and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals of the finite systems is found to be inversely proportional to the nanotubes segments length, suggesting a route to control their electronic properties. Similar to the case of zigzag graphene nanoribbons, half-metallic behavior is obtained under the influence of an external axial electric field.
