摘要:

在碳纳米管中,例如由辐射或化学吸附处理引起的最丰富的缺陷是在A和B位点上延伸的小扰动簇,即双位点缺陷。这些扰动团簇的相对位置在决定碳纳米管的电子性质方面起着至关重要的作用。利用能带结构和电子输运计算,我们发现,在扶手椅型金属纳米管的情况下,当团簇满足一定的周期性条件时,带隙打开。这种现象可能会被用于未来的纳米电子器件中,其中单个金属纳米管的某些区域可以变成半导体。尽管在这项工作中我们专门研究了氢吸附原子团簇的影响,但这种现象对于不同类型的缺陷来说是普遍的。此外,我们还研究了缺陷区的长度和随机性对电子输运的影响。

英文摘要:

In carbon nanotubes, the most abundant defects, caused for example by irradiation or chemisorption treatments, are small perturbing clusters, i.e. bi-site defects, extending over both A and B sites. The relative positions of these perturbing clusters play a crucial role in determining the electronic properties of carbon nanotubes. Using bandstructure and electronic transport calculations, we find out that in the case of armchair metallic nanotubes a band gap opens up when the clusters fulfill a certain periodicity condition. This phenomenon might be used in future nanoelectronic devices in which certain regions of single metallic nanotubes could be turned to semiconducting ones. Although in this work we study specifically the effect of hydrogen adatom clusters, the phenomenon is general for different types of defects. Moreover, we study the influence of the length and randomness of the defected region on the electron transport through it.
